First Rock Strike—anything to do?

thinkxingu · 07-20-2020, 09:08 PM

Some of you may remember when I scratched my skeg on a rock at Ragged because I got in too early, but tonight, after seven summers of boating in the north, I actually struck a rock (is it inevitable?!). It was dark (must've been literally inches off), and it was just a momentary thunk, but it looks like the skeg and one prop blade got scratched and the cone scratched and maybe slightly dented (I can't tell if it's the waterline distorting the look, but it's definitely scratched).

Everything is operating normally and there's no unusual noises or vibrations. Do I just continue using it, or is there a value in having someone look it over?
