Did I Spin My Prop Hub?

So I hit a submerged pallet and I think I spun the hub. Didn't see the pallet until after it was kicked up by the prop. I marked the prop and sleeve before hand and what is the chance the prop keeps hanging up in the same spot? Everything was working and running well up to 4500 RPM before this. Now it just blows exhaust over 2K and there is no power, while under 2k everything seems normal.

It would be an incredible coincidence, if the marks matched, and the hub was spun. If they do match, then something else is wrong.

Do you have a spare, good prop?

No, but the prop shop by me should be open tomorrow. It will be tested since I took it off yesterday. It took a while but I made it back 3-4 miles to the ramp.

Everyone should carry a spare prop, perhaps you now see why....

Any other Damage to the Lower Unit?
Just some scuffed paint and wood jammed through the intake screen. I really dont know about anything internally that could be messed up. Otherwise it runs as it should below 2000RPM.
