RedactedNarrative: V1 operator and occupants were preparing to depart Crab Island in Okaloosa County, FL to return to the livery. V1's anchor was recovered from the water and placed on the vessel. V1's operator was unable to trim the motor down due to a faulty tilt support lever on the starboard side of the motor. Unbeknownst to the operator, the tilt support lever on the starboard side of the motor had fallen to the down position. Three of V1's occupants entered the water, one of which was the victim, to check the motor. While in the water, the victim became separated from the vessel, began to struggle, and drowned. One Medical Examiner's Office ruled the cause of death as drowning and listed the manner of death as an accident.
