RedactedNarrative: Synopsis:
  
  On April 19, 2018 approximately 17:45,Operator1 was attempting to dock his house boat into his assigned dock slip at the executive Aramark docks at Bullfrog Lake Powell. As he got close to the slip his reverse stopped working in his starboard engine and he lost all function in the port side engine. The wind was blowing at an estimated speed of 30-40 miles an hour. He had assistance from Aramark services. With only partial use of the starboard engine he ran into the stern of vessel 2. With no reverse the wind pushed  him into vessel 3. 
  
  Accident:
  
  On April 19, 2018 approximately 17:45 Operator1 was attempting to dock his 70 foot 1995 Sumerset houseboat.The wind started to blow extremely fast and hard when he came in to the marina. He lost power to the port side engine so he called Aramark to assist him in docking. Aramark informed him to dock in an open area on O dock because they were afraid he would not be able to dock in his assigned slip safely. Upon approach to the dock Operator1 lost his reverse power in the starboard engine. He could not reverse which caused him to ram the vessel 2  with his bow. The wind then pushed his stern into vessel 3. He was stuck perpendicular between vessel 2 and 3. Aramark employees and other people around helped him get secured to the dock.  
  
  Investigation:
  
  When I arrived at approximately 18:10  the wind was blowing at an estimated speed of 30-40 miles an hour in an westward direction. I talked to the operator of the vessel Operator1 who showed no signs of impairment. There were several people there helping him to secure his vessel to the dock. Based on my assessment I find that wind and equipment failure are the major contributing factors that caused this accident. He explained to me that he had just launched his houseboat and that it had been off the water all winter being worked on by a mechanic. I asked Operator1 and his wife fill out witness statements and they agreed. Operator1 informed me that he had poor hand writing and asked if his wife could transcribe for him and I agreed.
