Final answer:
Shift weight away from impact, gently reverse off the obstruction if possible, push off with a pole, or wait for higher tide to refloat the boat. Use preventive measures to avoid grounding.
Step-by-step explanation:
If your inboard/outboard boat runs aground and is not leaking, after shifting the weight away from the point of impact, you should try to reverse off the obstruction if possible. Using the engine to push off gently can help dislodge the boat. It's important to assess the situation carefully to prevent damage to your boat and the environment. If reversing off is not possible and the situation is safe, you may also attempt to push off using a pole or paddle if the bottom is soft and shallow enough. Always look for the safest and least impactful method to refloat the boat. In some circumstances, it may be best to wait for a higher tide. Preventive measures such as keeping a proper lookout and knowing the local waters can help avoid running aground.
