RedactedNarrative: On 3/23/2014 I responded to the area near Shell Island in reference to an injured boater. I located the injured boater at marker #4 and transported him to the Fort Island Trail Boat Ramp where he had a friend transport him to the hospital for treatment. 
  
  I responded to the scene, along with Federal Wildlife Officer, (see attached supplemental report), and located the V-1 at Marker #4 on the Crystal River. I made contact with the operator, and observed the Victim, lying on a cooler near the vessel stern. Victim's left hand heavily wrapped. Operator advised that Victim injured his hand on the outboard engine's flywheel while attempting to repair the throttle which was malfunctioning. Victim was stable and was not losing blood at that time. I asked the victim if he wanted assistance and he advised he did not want EMS assistance but requested that I transport him to the Fort Island Trail Park boat ramp where he could then be transported to the hospital by his friend.The victim received seven stitches to his left hand. No other injuries.
