On 08/03/2012 at approximately 6:50 a.m. in Jefferson Parish, two subjects were on board a vessel, LA 1347 EU, and were traveling South in a pipeline canal and when the vessel entered into Little Lake a short distance the vessels' outboard motor struck an unknown object under the water and broke the motor from the mounting bracket on the transom.  Both occupants were wearing PFD's at the time of the incident and were not injured.  The vessel was a 22' bay boat with hydraulic steering.  The subjects notified the USCG of the incident, who notified LDWF of the location.  The subjects also notified Tow Boat US who went to the location to tow the disabled vessel back to the Joe's Landing Marina.  The outboard motor was recovered the following day.  No alcohol was involved.
