RedactedNarrative: Owner #1 stated to the effect:  I was getting ready to go on a boat ride.  I trimmed the engine down, once the engine was down I then attempted to steer the wheel to the post and then to the starboard side.  When I did this the engine was hard to steer.  I then raised the engine and noticed that there was a mark on the prop and a gouge on the port side of the engine.
  
  Investigation at the scene revealed:  Vessel #1 was docked.  Vessel #1 was facing westbound with the engine trimmed up.  It should be noted that the engine was facing the canal.  At some point an unknown vessel struck Vessel #1 on the port side of the engine specifically the anti-cavitations plate causing damage to the power steering arm and chipping the anti-cavitations plate.  The owner of Vessel #1 advised that there is one camera in the area, but it doesn't show his vessel.  He further advised that he will ask his neighbor to review the camera footage to see if there were any suspect vessels in the area prior to the crash.  No injuries were reported or observed at the scene.   If the unknown vessel and operator become identified summons maybe issued at a later date.
