RedactedNarrative: Vessel was returning to a residential dock after a day of fishing. Vessel operator experienced a malfunction in the throttle system and collided with his dock and neighboring residential docks.  
  The two individuals were returning to their residential dock from a day of fishing. Subject was operating the vessel from the tower helm. Subject explained that he “attempted to spin the boat by engaging the port throttle in forward and the starboard throttle in reverse”, when he noticed that the “starboard control was malfunctioning”. Subject than attempted to put the starboard throttle in reverse, then “it sent the boat forward”. 
  
  Subject than yelled for Subject2, who was located on the lower deck at the time, to take control of the vessel. Subject2 than went to the main helm and attempted to gain control of the vessel. Subject2 was able to gain control of the vessel at first, however as they neared the dock, Subject2 explained that “I lost control at the helm as well” and that “no neutral and no reverse” was functioning. 
  
  While Subject2 was attempting to control the vessel, subject went to the bow to “get ready to grab the dock lines”. The vessel collided first with the residential dock to the west first, continuing into the residential dock of the vessel owner, Subject2, and finally colliding into the residential dock to the east where the vessel’s movement stopped. At this point, Subject2 was able to shut off the engine, as subject was able to jump the nearby seawall and walk the vessel back to their dock using the deck lines.
