Default dumb dumb dumb

Had a good evening fishing Sat night so I decided to go again Sunday morning.

Left the filet table (plastic 6' banquet table) leaning against the gate to the back yard behind the boat.

Went fishing Sunday morning, and when I got back I was backing the boat in, wasn't paying attention and backed a little too far.

Prop (stainless steel) hit the banquet table which was leaning against the fence. Put a small gouge in the table but no other visible damage.

Prop looks fine. Anything to worry about? Would that have warped/bent the prop at all or would the gate and table have given way first?

Just being overly anal as usual...and hoping I didn't screw something up in my haste.

Thanks!

I doubt you did any damage to the prop or drive. Hitting a plastic table against a wood or chain-link fence?

You're OK. Just human.

Let's see here, plastic table against a Stainless prop.. The only damage aside from the table is probably to your ego.

If you can see no visible damage to the prop, it is most likely just fine. If you want to make sure to ease your mind a little, spin the prop and look at the prop shaft. No wobble, it's fine..
