Vessel 1 (V1) was navigating through Homeport Marina. 

V1's starboard motor shut down, making it difficult to steer. The operator stopped V1. V1 drifted with its stern facing the bow of Vessel 2 (V2). 

A passenger was making repairs to the starboard motor and cranked it from the engine room. The operator of V1 did not know this was going to happen. The starboard throttle was in full reverse when it cranked. 

V1 pushed V2 into the dock. Vessel 3 (V3) is a dinghy that was on a swim platform lift. When V1 pushed V2 into the dock V3 impacted a dock box and fell off the platform bunks impacting the swim platform lift deck of V2.
