RedactedNarrative: On Saturday, July 05, 2014, Operator was operating her 18''10'''' Tracker Pontoon boat on Norris Lake near Pilot Island when the boat ran aground. Operator stated that she was traveling around 10mph, in approximately 40-50ft. of water. She stated that while trying to avoid a tree branch that was sticking up out of the water the boat came to a complete stop after coming into contact with several rocks that were only a foot under the surface of the water. Operator then stated that her boyfriend pushed the boat back out into deeper water as she attempted to start the engine. She stated that the engine would run, however it would not engage into forward or reverse and the vessel had to be towed back to Sequoyah Maria.
