RedactedNarrative: Vessel #1 was traveling northeast in the area north of the Dam East Access.  Operator #1 said as he was steering into the waves at approximately a 45 degree angle, the vessel abruptly turned to the right causing both he and his passenger to be ejected to the port side of the boat.  
  
  The operator was wearing the engine cutoff lanyard which caused the engine to shut off.  The vessel took on water from the hard turn, and then due to the waves, the aft portion of the vessel became swamped with water.  No injuries were reported.  There was minor visible damage to the vessel.  The operator and passenger side windshields were broken off, the sonar screen cable was broken, the GPS transponder was broken off.  The operator said 2 fishing rods were lost and one was broken due to the accident.  
  
  Upon speaking with the operator on 10/01/15, he said he learned from a mechanic that a hydrolic steering was broken, which would be consistent with the hard right turn prior to the crash.
