If you run the ground in and outboard boat and you are not taking on water what is the first step in attempting to free your vessel?

If your boat has run aground and is not taking on water, the first step is to assess the situation and check the surrounding environment for potential hazards. Next, you should try to determine the direction of the tide and wind, as they can help in the refloating process. If possible, shift weight on the boat to one side to help it lean and gain traction. Finally, you may use a combination of power from the engine and gentle rocking to attempt to free the vessel.
