VESSEL 1 WAS AT IDLE SPEED PICKING up A SKIER. THE THROTTLE HANDLE WAS IN NEUTRAL POSITION AND THE ENGINE WAS LEFT RUNNING. WHEN THE THROTTLE HANDLE IS IN NEUTRAL, THE LOWER UNIT AND PROPELLER SHOULD DISENGAGE. DUE TO MECHANICAL FAILURE OF THE LOWER UNIT AND PROPELLER, WHEN THE SKIER TRIED TO ENTER THE VESSEL SHE CUT HER FOOT ON THE PROPELLER. AT THE SAME TIME PASSENGER 2 WENT IN THE WATER AND ALSO GOT CUT BY THE PROPELLER.
