Just a guess.

Well it was as good as ...if not better than Jon's guess..

The incidents of runaways I've seen they waited for a tight circling
boat to run out of gas, or came alongside and a braveheart jumped
aboard and killed the motor.
I never even heard of prop tangling until you mentioned it, but it
seems like a good idea, because it's hand-off.
Got no idea how to best do it, but tying to a runaway just doesn't
seem like a good idea.
Probably nobody has done this twice, and it might be an on-the-spot
call how to handle it.
I just googled a bit and watched this. Pretty cool.

So maybe the best bet is to call this kid to catch it.
