What action should you take if your boat runs aground?

If your boat runs aground, first assess the situation to ensure everyone's safety and check for any damage. If the boat is stable, try to free it by shifting weight, using the engine at low RPMs, or waiting for the tide to rise. If these methods fail, you may need to call for assistance or a tow service to help you get unstuck. Avoid forcing the boat free, as this may cause further damage.
