RedactedNarrative: On November 8,2018 at approximately 8:50 pm a 26 foot Calcutta (with remote steering) struck a concrete dock in Tiger Pass of Venice,LA. Three subjects were onboard the vessel. The captain of the vessel sustained multiple injuries, as did one passenger.
  
  Subjects stated that Operator had put two new props on the vessel and wanted to test the vessel out before they went fishing in the morning. Shortly after 8pm the three men left Venice Marina with Operator captaining the vessel and took a short trip down Tiger Pass. Once they reached Cypress Cove Marina, they turned around the vessel to head back to Venice Marina. While turning around, subject stated he could see on the radar that they were quickly approaching the bank and began yelling "bank" several times. At that time Operator, by his own statement along with the others was looking down at the instrument cluster to check the RPMs (subjects estimated they were going approximately 30mph and were on step). Operator, hearing the yell, attempted to make corrective actions and pulled back on the throttles just before turning into and making impact with the dock.
  
  Operator inattention is believed to be the major contributing factor in this incident. No PFDs were used and no alcohol/drugs are believed to have been involved in this incident.
