RedactedNarrative: At approximately 17:00 on june 11, 2014, operator1 was attempting to dock his 39 ft trawler at galley stores marina, new bern, nc located on the neuse river. While maneuvering, a throttle cable snapped causing operator1 to lose his ability to control the throttle. Operator1 quickly turned off the engines and the vessel's bow then struck the marina's concrete bulkhead head on. None of the 6 passengers were injured as a result of this collision. The vessel sustained significant damage. Impact with the bulkhead damaged the bow's leading edge and also caused the fiberglass to separate from the bow thrusters. This in turned caused the vessel to take on water and resulted in damage to the interior of the vessel. Tidewater marine was hired to repair the vessel and confirmed the throttle cable had broken. The broken throttle cable appears to be the sole cause of the incident.
