RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 stated: I was driving along the pier as instructed by the boat rental employee when the engine failed and came to a complete stop.
  
   My wife made the initial phone call to the boat rental company as instructed if we needed anything. The phone call was made at 1:08pm. My wife spoke to subject who instructed us to put the engine in neutral and attempt to bring it forward. When that attempt failed, we were told that we were "seen" and to keep the engine in neutral. 
  
  We waited approximately 18 to 20 minutes before assistance arrived. In that time our boat drifted towards the dock approximately 50 yards from where the engine initially died, with winds averaging 12 to 15mph and other boats passing us by. 
  
  Our boat drifted into a boat parked at the dock, and the front of the boat hit the right side of the parked boat·. The gentleman who owned the boat was speaking to us as we drifted towards the dock and was aware of our situation. After assistance arrived, we were informed of a foreign object wrapped around the motor, which was referred to as a "hose". It took approximately 15 minutes for the object to be removed and we were lead into the water to continue our boating session."
