  On 08/17/2018, at about 03:30 p.m., these two vessels were in the Cap Sante Marina, located on Puget Sound near Anacortes, WA in Skagit county.
  
  According the Operator of V1 his vessel was slung into the harbor at this location.  Once the boat was backed away from the sling he stopped and held it in place.  An aluminum boat (V2) was tied off to the dock behind him.  V2 hit V1 full throttle in forward, striking the back of V1.  
  
  The Operator of V2 reported that when he started his engine RPM started to increase without warning.  He ran to the cockpit to shut the motor down.  Before he could shut down the engine, the transmission engaged throwing the vessel into forward gear.  Operator2 kept hitting the shut down switch but the motor wouldn’t shut down.  
  
  V2 launched up onto the aft deck of the boat in front of him (V1).  Operator2 continued to try to shut down his motor.  He turned steering to starboard to get V2 off of V1.  V2 finally slid off V1 and Operator2 was able to shut down the motor.
