RedactedNarrative: On July 2, 2017 at approximately 1700 hours, Vessel 1 (V1) was underway along the Homosassa River in the Blue waters area. V1 was occupied by five people including two juveniles. While underway, Operator and Occupant1 were trying to retract the power pole that was left down when they first began moving. Occupant1 who was at the rear starboard side pulled on the power pole manually while Operator operated the electrical control. The power pole finally began to close and pinched the end of Occupant1’s left middle finger, resulting in a large laceration around the last joint of the finger. V1 was escorted by marked patrol vessels to Macrae's Boat Ramp in Homosassa.  Occupant1 was then transported by Operator to the Oak Hill Hospital for further medical treatment.  
  
  Victim sustained a laceration to the left middle finger attempting to put up a power pole.
