Well, made a mistake.

Boat ramp was packed and I was solo that day, was trying to hurry up and get out of the way and forgot to trim the motor all the way up before pulling out of the ramp. I noticed it grab immediately and backed off, knew exactly what I had done. Backed it back in the water and trimmed up. This is the damage, how screwed is the lower unit ? Can I bend it back and touch it up ? No cracks or crazy deep gouges, just a slight bend and some scrape. Mercury alpha 1.

I happen to have an Alpha that I'll let you have for cheap.
