If your inboard-outboard runs aground, in addition to shifting weight away from the point of impact, you should assess the situation to determine if the boat is taking on water or if there are any immediate hazards. Check the engine and steering for any damage, and then try to gently rock the boat back and forth to free it from the ground. If that fails, consider using a tow line or anchor to help pull the boat free, but avoid excessive force that could cause further damage. Always ensure the safety of all passengers and prepare to abandon ship if necessary.
