RedactedNarrative: On Sunday, March 15th, 2020, at approximately 3:00 pm, Boating Accident #FWNE20OFF004260 occurred on the Ocklawaha River, Marion County, Florida.  The accident occurred at Latitude N29° 28.7690’, Longitude W81° 46.9360’.  This location is approximately halfway between Rodman Dam and State Road 19.  
  
  Vessel 1 (V1) was a 1995 16-foot Bass Tracker Corp bass boat occupied and operated by owner.  V1 was traveling down-river (south-east) maintaining a slow plow.  The outboard motor of V1 was trimmed up high to avoid hitting logs.  
  
  V1 was cruising in a bow-high plowing position that, when combined with the motor trim angle, caused water to come in over the transom and swamp the hull.  Operator was able to drive the V1 up onto a partially submerged log which prevented it from fully sinking.  Operator was un-injured in the accident.  Approximately a third of V1 was filled with water including the outboard engine.  Good Samaritans were able to assist Operator with de-watering V1 and towed it back to the boat ramp at State Road 19.
