RedactedNarrative: The operator states that she was backing up away from the dock and was seated behind the steering wheel. She states she had her left hand on the steering wheel and then shifted the control/ throttle into forward gear. 
  
  She states she only moved the control forward to engage the engine and then engine revved up and caused steering wheel turn to the left. The operator states she tried to pull back the control/throttle but it would not return back into a neutral. This action caused the boat to accelerate rapidly and strike the dock with such force, causing the boat bow to come out of the water.
