  On 06/11/2015, at about 10:15 p.m., this vessel was cruising on Puget Sound, West of Narrows Bridge located near Tacoma WA in Pierce county.  The vessel was returning from a fishing trip.  
  
  As the vessel motored through the darkness, the Operator and Passengers all felt a sudden "thud" beneath the vessel and a loss of power.  Operator immediately checked the area around the vessel and found that it had struck a partially submerged floating log (deadhead).  
  
  The motor failed to start; the outdrive was torn from the vessel and dangling below the swim step.  Operator observed that the vessel was taking on water and listing starboard.  The bilge pump was unable to keep up.  Operator called 911 for assistance.
