RedactedNarrative: On Wednesday 08/31/2016 Warden was notified of a vessel on the shoreline of Tuttle Creek Reservoir.  Warden was unable to investigate the vessel at that time and Lt. Warden took the initial report and located the vessel.  
  
  Owner stated that the accident occurred 2 days prior, 08/29/2016, and that he was going to be returning the following Monday to the area.  The vessel was removed on Thursday 09/01/2016. 
  
  On 09/05/2016 Warden was able to meet with Owner regarding the accident.  Owner stated this he was the owner of the vessel and he was out on the afternoon of 08/29/2016 with a friend and they were going to try out some new equipment. 
  
   Owner stated that around 7:00pm, he was boating along the East shorline heading North on Tuttle Creek Reservoir.  The location was near where Living Water Rd in Pottawatomie County KS dead ends at Tuttle Creek Reservoir.  Owner stated he was probably a little too close to the shore but that is where the calmest water was.  
  
  Owner was going approximately 30mph, maybe faster, when suddenly he heard a loud "pop or bang" come from the rear of the vessel.  Owner turned to see what had happened and by the time he turned back forward he noticed he was heading for the shorline.  
  
  Owner tried to turn the vessel immediately to the left but the boat did not respond.  He couldn''t get the boat to turn so he let off the throttle but the boat wasn''t slowing down fast enough and they then ran the boat up on to shore approximately 20 feet.  
  
  Owner was still unsure of what the noise was and the damage sustained to the steering and prop area of the boat made it impossible to determine what may have been damaged prior to the boat running ashore.
  
  Neither Owner or his passenger were injured in the accident.  When asked why he did not report the accident immediately Owner simply stated that he didn''t know he needed to.
  
  The boat was removed by Marina staff on Thursday 09/01/2016.
  
  Nothing further.
