RedactedNarrative: On 7/5/2019 at approximately 1645 hours in Hillsborough County.  I Officer was dispatched to a boating accident at 5320 Interbay Blvd.  The accident involved a single vessel versus a dock.  
  
  Florida Vessel FL 1802 RG a 29’ Black fin was returning to his home port Tampa Bay Yacht Club.  The Owner/Operator normally backs his vessel into the slip but due to weather conditions he was bowing his vessel into the slip. While docking the vessel the port side engine stalled. OPERATOR1 placed both engines into neutral to restart the port side engine. When OPERATOR1 restarted the vessel engines the wind blew the bow of the vessel to the west. OPERATOR1 placed the starboard engine into reverse and the port engine forward to right the bow.  The port engine failed again, OPERATOR1 placed both engines into neutral and restarted the engines again, the vessel was engaged in gear and ran into the electric box on the dock. The vessel had little damage, the anchor is what caused the electric box damage.  The transfer marks on the vessel and the location of the impact on the electric box confirm OPERATOR1’s statement. 
  
  After the incident OPERATOR1 restarted the vessel and found that the vessel was engaged in gear while in neutral.  The vessel had a mechanical issue that was causing the vessel to stay in gear.
  
  I interviewed the dockmaster and his story was consistent with OPERATOR1’s statement.  
  
  End of report
