my props have hit somthing, they both have 1 damaged fin. the damage is about a quarter inch peeled off, or a little less.
there is no vibration. should I be concerned with having any lower unit damage?

Howdy,


Possibly not...... you should still check the prop shaft(s) for run-out when you pull the props to repair/replace them.....

Depending on your boat insurance, they may cover you - and they normally want a prop shaft run-out check.

I would definitely want to know.
I'm not sure of the Bravo 3 reqs yet typically you should have .003 or less run-out on either shaft.
