RedactedNarrative: Accident not investigated at scene nor were occupants/operator interviewed. 
  
  On Saturday, June 7, 2014 D-1 Operator1 rented a vessel, V-1 from Aramark Corporation at Zephyr Cove, Lake Tahoe. At approximately 1730 hours, she was in the area of Cave Rock. It appears that all the occupants of the vessel jumped out to swim. They realized that the vessel was drifting toward the shore/rocks. They were not able to get aboard the vessel and start the engine prior to the vessel running aground. 
  
  D-1 Operator1 was eventually able to start the boat, all the passengers reboarded and she returned it to Zephyr Cove. Upon return, she told dock manager that there had not been any problems. Dock Manager had received a call from Nevada State Park Aide who told him that one of Aramark''s rental boats had hit the rocks near Cave Rock. Dock Manager instructed an employee to inspect the hull of V-1 when damage to the hull, propeller and skeg was discovered. D-1 Operator1 initially told Dock Manager that everyone had jumped off the boat to swim and it drifted into the rocks. This statement was also made to Park by a 16 year old female (no further identifier) who had been a passenger. 
  
  Dock Manager told me that D-1Operator1 initially agreed to pay for the damage and would make arrangements. He told me that D-1 Operator1 returned Sunday June 8th and told him there had been mechanical problems with the boat, specifically the steering and starter failed which resulted in the boat drifting into the rocks. D-1Operator1 was denying responsibility for the damage. Dock Manager told me that when D-1 Operator1 returned V-1 he shut-off and re-started V-1 three times. An Aramark employee drove V-1 to Cave Rock to put it on a trailer. Dock Manager said this employee did not have any problems with the steering or motor. 
  
  Park Aidetold me that an unknown occupant of the boat said that the engine cut-off lanyard had been pulled, shutting off the engine. No one on board realized the cut-off had been activated until several minutes after V-1 had hit the rocks. 
  
  I spoke with D-1 Operator1 and she agreed to provide a statement. The email address she provided was not correct and has not returned two subsequent calls. She has not provided a statement regarding the accident. 
  
  There is no diagram provided as I was unable to determine the vessels position on the rocks but determined its location when the accident occurred.
