RedactedNarrative: Operator was underway when he got a line caught in his propeller.  He raised the motor, was able to free the line, then dropped the motor back into the water.  When he pulled the line to restart the engine he did not realize it was still in gear, when the engine started he threw him from the boat.  He was able to grab a hold of the boat as it circled back past him, when he tried to climb over the side the propeller cut his foot.  He let go of the boat and swam to shore where he was met by EMS and transported to RI Hospital for treatment.  The skiff continued to circle in the cove until it ran out of gas and one of Operator's neighbors was able to tow it back to his dock.
