What should you do after your boat runs aground and you determine that?

If your boat runs aground, the first step is to assess the situation for any potential damage and ensure the safety of all passengers on board. Check the surrounding water conditions and tide levels, as these can affect your ability to refloat the boat. If safe to do so, try to shift weight on the boat or use a paddle to help dislodge it. If unsuccessful, consider calling for assistance or a tow service, especially if you are in a remote area.
