Vessel 1 was operating near the water treatment plant when Vessel 1 stalled and was unable to be restarted.  The Operator of Vessel 1 called the Coast Guard for assistance.  Upon arrival at the scene Vessel 2 placed Vessel 1 (improperly) in tow; specifically, Vessel 2 reportedly towed Vessel 1 by the handlebars rather than the bow eye of Vessel 1 resulting in the steering column of Vessel 1 being torn loose during the tow.  Vessel 1 later grounded and was recovered the following day.
