Bummer! I now know how you feel
At Lake Powell on the first day of our trip, I hit a log at 25 MPH and it bent and broke off a piece of the catavation plate! We were 30 miles away from the ramp, so I did not want to be towed in.
I did not notice any differance, but maybe a little slower coming up on plane. We traveled over 300 miles varified from a GPS unit.
The log hit my SS prop which kicked it up into the catavation plate, just glad we were not disabled!
I dropped it off at the dealer and they will wield on another piece and straighten out the plant for $300 - 400 or so. So hopefully we will be back in bussiness soon!
