If your inboard/outboard boat runs aground, accelerating can cause further damage as well as create safety hazards for yourself and others. It is important to stop the engine and lift the outdrive immediately to try to dislodge the boat from the ground. Calling for immediate help may be necessary in more severe cases, but it should not be the first action taken. Waiting for high tide is a passive approach and may not be effective in dislodging the boat. The most efficient and safest action is to stop the engine and lift the outdrive.
