Man, 66, injured in fall into boat engine bay

A man in his 60s has been taken to hospital after he fell into the engine bay of a boat at Morisset.

Emergency crews - NSW Ambulance paramedics and the Westpac Rescue Helicopter's critical care medical team - were called to a marina at Morisset Park about 12.15pm on Thursday after reports a man had been seriously injured.

They stabilised the 66-year-old, who was pulled from the engine bay and who had suffered arm fractures and bruising in the fall.

He was air-lifted to John Hunter Hospital in a stable condition.
