On 05/02/2023 V1 Operator was operating a vessel (V1) in San Roc Marina in Cotton Bayou. V1 Operator stated he was moving the boat so a generator could be installed. He stated that he noticed that the port motor would not shift out of forward gear. This caused his vessel to begin to turn to the right. V1 Operator attempted to reset the electronic throttle but was unsuccessful. He then shut the motor off and drifted into a moored rental pontoon boat damaging both vessels. V1 Operator and other were able to move V1 into a nearby slip by hand and remained on scene until the investigating officer arrived.
