RedactedNarrative: On 4 August 2020, at approximately 1230 hours, Officers of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) were dispatched to a Boating accident that occurred at the North Palm Beach Marina located at 1037 Marina Dr, North Palm Beach, FL 33408. We met with North Palm Beach Police Department at the scene who reported the accident to dispatch. The crash involved 3 vessels, and it was determined that vessel 1 crashed in between vessel's 2 and 3 while trying to dock in their slip in the marina. 
  
  Vessel 1 was entering into the marina to dock at their slip. While attempting to reverse the boat into their marina slip located directly behind the stern, their vessel failed to engage in reverse while trying to move the vessel backwards into the slip. Vessel 1 has electronic controls that control the transition of direction. Instead the boat was still engaged in forward gear and the forward momentum caused the vessel to glide forward and strike a wooden piling in between vessel 2 and vessel 3 causing some damage on this impact. An attempt was made to correct the error; however Booth stated the vessel’s controls failed to electronically switch from forward to reverse. Due to this vessel 1 went forward again with more force causing more damage on this impact to both vessel 2 and 3.
  	
  	After interviewing vessel 1 operator it was stated that some sort of mechanical error occurred on their vessel. The vessel has two sets of controls. while trying to switch from the interior controls inside the helm, to the aft controls just outside the helm, he stated that the aft controls would not engage, and he could not control the direction of the vessel. We could not determine if the mechanical error did or did not occur.
