RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 stated in effect: I was tied to the gas dock at Ocean Gate Yacht Basin, kneeling on the starboard side swim platform fueling my boat when the boat behind me suddenly accelerated forward and hit my boat landing on top of it.
  
  Operator #2 stated in effect: I pulled into the fuel dock behind the other boat and was attempting to tie up to the dock. Since there was no attendant to assist, I kneeled on my seat to lean over the side windshield to tie np to the piling, and inadvertently struck the electronic throttle which I am not used to, and my boat went forward onto the boat in front of me.
  
  Investigation revealed: Vessel #1 was moored to the fuel dock on the starboard side of the vessel, and the operator was actively fueling his vessel from the starboard side of the swim platform. Vessel #2 had pulled into the fuel dock behind vessel #1 and was attempting to tie up to the fuel dock on it's starboard side. The operator of vessel #2, while attempting to lean over and tie off to the piling, inadvertently struck the electronic throttle with his leg placing vessel #2 into gear. 
  
  Vessel #2 accelerated forward, striking vessel #1 in the area of the port side swim platform, and con tinned forward coming to rest on top of the rear port side of vessel #1. Vessel #2 then backed off of vessel #1 and moored to the fuel dock as originally intended. 
  
  All passengers of vessel #1 were located in the bow at the time of the collision, and no injuries were reported on scene. The lone additional occupant of vessel #2 was located on the rear starboard side of the vessel at the time of the collision and did not report any injuries on scene. Both vessels were able to be removed from the scene by their operators.
