Hi newbie here, second time out on our 19 foot sun runner with aq211a (5.0 with a duo prop out drive ) think it is a DP 280, I hit the soft muddy bottom at about 10 mph. The boat came to a stop and stalled the engine. I panicked a little , then started the engine and reversed it out of the mud and turned it around. I limped it back to the marina, it was vibrating and no power. I tried to look at the props but the water was too murky to see (props are black) I cant get it out of the water for another week because my tow vehicle issue, what do you guys think the likely damage will be ?? Do you think i fouled the impeller? It did not overheat on the way back. seriously unhappy... :(

Being black, the props are probably aluminum, and probably bent. Remove and send to a reputable prop shop.
