RedactedNarrative: Video from Marina surveillance camera showed Vessel 2 Operator having a hard time controlling his boat after launching and ending up striking Vessel 1 while in reverse.
  After interviewing Vessel 2 Operator, it was determined that there was a connector rod between the kicker motor and main motor.  The kicker motor had not been placed in the down position, therefore restricting the movement of the main motor, which made it hard for the Operator to control the vessel in tight quarters.
  As of 10/26/2015 the investigating officer had not received an actual damage amount so, the $2,000 work of damage is just an estimate.
