Unit 1 was traveling south bound while Unit 2 was drifting facing west bound.  Unit one was under power and traveled behind another watercraft on the lake.  Before Unit 1 could turn out of the way, it lost power and the ability to steer.  Unit one then struck unit two near the starboard stern of Unit 2.  The operator of Unit 1 was ejected from the vessel but uninjured.  The operator and passenger of Unit 2 were also uninjured. Office cannot give a diagnostic on the fuel system.  The operator of the PWC said the engine would cut out somtimes upon hitting a wake or bump and the engine would have to be restarted.  The operator thought something was wrong with the fuel system.  The officer is not mechanical so he does not know. Operator stated that when the accident happened he lost his steering because the engine failed.;
