RedactedNarrative: On September 26, 2020 at approximately 2:00 p.m. Operator 1 was operating vessel equipped with remote steering and one other occupant onboard identified as Occupant 1.   As the vessel exited the mouth of the Avery Canal and entered Vermillion Bay, Operator 1 veered the vessel west and started to travel down the northern shoreline.  When Operator 1 started approaching his destination, the lower unit on his vessel's motor struck a submerged object below the surface of the water.  The impact from hitting the submerged object cracked the lower unit and bent the propeller.  Both subjects were wearing their proper PFD's and had no injuries.  Also, being that the boating accident was reported three days after it occurred, there was no suspicion of alcohol or drugs to be involved in this accident.
