RedactedNarrative: On 6/19/22, at approximately 4:00pm, operator1 was in the process of anchoring his vessel.  He stated he positioned his vessel approximately 75ft off the starboard side of vessel 2 and put both engines in neutral from the upper helm.  Operator1 synchronized the wireless remote from his boat's steering system so he could control the boat from the remote.  
  
  Operator1 stated he tested out the wireless remote to make sure he had full control of his vessel's movement.  After making sure the wireless remote worked, operator1 then moved to the bow of the boat so he could get a better view of the surrounding area while anchoring his vessel.  Once on the bow, operator1 noticed his boat was moving forward and slightly left.  He attempted to back the boat up with the use of the wireless remote, but it did not work.  He immediately went to the helm located inside the cabin and attempted to put the boat in reverse, but the boat did not respond, presumably because one of the other passengers had already put the boat in reverse from the upper helm.  The bow of operator1's boat struck the starboard side of vessel 2.  Operator1 believes that he may have bumped the starboard throttle forward in the upper helm prior to going to the bow of the boat which would have disengaged the wireless remote.
  
  The owner of vessel 2 called to operator1 when he saw his boat heading in their direction, but by that time, it was too late.
  
  Vessel 1 sustained minor paint and fiberglass damage to the bow.
  
  Vessel 2 sustained damage to the starboard side of the hull, railing, toe rail, motor hoist and rigging.
