RedactedNarrative: On the above date and time I responded to South Moon Fish Camp at 1977 Camp South Moon Rd Astor regarding a boating accident. Upon arrival I met the owner / operator of Vessel - 1. Operator1 stated he was backing his vessel out of the slip at South Moon Fish Camp in preparation to go fishing for the day. He stated it is tight quarters in the boat slips and he had turned around to look behind him in an effort to not impact any vessels to his rear. When he backed as far as he could he shifted his vessel from reverse to forward. 
  
  Operator1 stated he has a newer style electronic throttle and is not used to the sensitivity of it. When he shifted into forward he believes he may have slipped or lost his footing a little and leaned on the throttle. This caused his vessel to accelerate forward very quickly and impact Vessel - 2 which was securely docked on the port side of his slip. The starboard front of Vessel - 1's pontoon impacted the starboard rear of Vessel - 2 causing damage to the bimini top, railing, decking, motor cowling and a front light. The impact also caused minor damage to Vessel 1's starboard pontoon at the point of impact. Operator1 refused to give a written statement stating he did not like writing.
  
  Operator1 was alone on Vessel -1 and claimed no injuries. Vessel -2 was unoccupied and properly docked. 
  
  I contacted the owner of Vessel - 2 and obtained her information for the report. She had already been made aware of the incident by staff at the fish camp but could not immediately respond. I provided her with the offense number and contact information for the owner / operator of Vessel - 1. 
  
  Photos and diagram attached to report.
