RedactedNarrative: Operator 1 of V1 was driving a PWC and the engine shut off. Operator noticed vessel taking on water and jumped off and swam to a nearby island. On 6/20/18 A Operator 1 was driving a PWC in the Indian river just north of the Max Brewer bridge. Operator 1 said he saw the dash lights come on indicating something was wrong with the engine and then the engine shut off. When the engine shut off the vessel became unstable resulting in Operator 1 having to jump off. The PWC then sank leaving only the nose of the PWC exposed.
  
  After the PWC sank Operator 1 swam to the first spoil island north of the Max Brewer bridge where his dad was. Operator 1 and his father were picked up from the island by a good Samaritan and brought back to marina park where they had launched from. 
  
  On 6/21/18 V1 Owner was able to retrieve the vessel and bring it back to Marina Park Boat ramp in Titusville. Upon inspection of the vessel I was able to determine that it had taken on water due to an impact with a suspected submerged object. The hull was damaged in the bow section below the waterline (See attached photographs) which caused it to take on water and sink.
  
  Operator 1 did not recall hitting anything while driving the PWC. There were no injuries or other signs of damage that would indicate an accident involving more than one vessel.
