RedactedNarrative: According to the operator of vessel number one, registration number, at or about 11:00 am the throttle cable malfunctioned leaving the vessel with no forward gear. Operator attempted to return to the boat ramp in reverse but started taking water in over the stern. Operator tried to turn the boat around putting the bow into the waves so the water that was in it could drain out through the scupper holes. As Operator was trying to turn the boat around, a wave came over the transom causing the vessel to fill with water. Operator and his son tried to use coolers to bail the water out of the boat and at that point another wave came over the transom causing the boat to begin sinking. At this point Operator grabbed a life jacket and put it on and his son was already wearing his. The boat rolled over and both of them climbed on top of the exposed underside of the vessel. They saw the ferry in the distance and began waving their arms in an attempt to flag down the ferry. Crew members from the ferry got in a tender boat, and retrieved both Operator and his son from the sinking boat. Tow boat US was called to come tow the capsized vessel. Tow boat US righted the boat and towed it back to Swan Quarter Access Area.  At approximately 15:00 the vessel was tied to the dock and the water inside it was pumped out. The use of alcohol and drugs did not contribute to this accident and no violations were detected.
