RedactedNarrative: On 05/20/2018, at approximately 8:15am, subject was on his boat buoyed at the quakertown marina. He was working on his battery. He heard a man shout "watch it!" he then immediately heard a boom. The boat that was struck was unoccupied, covered, and buoyed. Subject saw three men on a boat start to leave the area, come back to the boat, and then head to the gas docks of quakertown marina. Subject did not make contact with the men on the boat. 
  Operator1 said that he, his son, and his grandson were cruising and fishing in the buoy field area. The boat was a tiller steer, and operator1 said he was operating when he became distracted by his son who was putting a slip bobber on one of the fishing poles. He admitted to turning loose of the tiller for "just a second" when he realized that he was too close to boat. He was not able to regain control of the vessel in time, and the raised trolling motor that was on the bow of operator1's boat slammed into the siding of a pontoon. This is consistent with the visual damage observed.
  
  Operator1 stated that he went to the marina gas docks to report the incident, but the marina was not open yet. He decided to return to fishing and come back to the marina once they had opened.
  
  No alcohol was found on operator1's boat, there were no signs of impairment, and alcohol was not suspected as a contributor to the crash. Operator1 was cited for imprudent operation.
