RedactedNarrative: Operator advised they had rented V1 from Dam Site Marina and he was towing the victim on a tube.  The victim fell off the tube and the operator put V1 in reverse to pick him up.  When V1 got close to the victim, operator stated he thought he put it in neutral but obviously he did not.  When the victim tried to board V1 he was struck by the prop.
