Might run it and be fine. Might damage your lower unit. Never know. I'd say you're at fairly low risk of having issues, but those issues could be expensive to repair. If it was my boat, I'd get it fixed.

I need to get my prob reconditioned as well. Where is the best place to take it close around the metroplex or within a reasonable distance?

Really ?... I literally just bought one today, on-line, for almost the same price I did over 10years ago... back then it was a New in Box Mercury Tempest, this time was a Fury, a little over $700... As was said prior, you will want it fixed, or you will pay for repairs to the lower unit later and have to get the prop fixed... you could always use this as an opportunity to buy a spare prop, then send this one out to get blueprinted, then you'll always have one ready to go while the other one gets repaired... just a thought... LOL...( I love spending other peoples money ) Buying props right now isnt the easiest task. And they are a bit expensive lately

If I took my prop in every time I had a ding like that, I would be broke!! While it's true you may not be getting the proper performance, it will be minimal and while it may not be perfect, it's not gonna tear up any seals. I like to use a % method when it comes to servicing props. In that condition, I am at probably at about 30-40%. If I go out the next trip and do the same thing to it, then that % moves to around 75%. Once I get to 100%, it's time to take it in.
Everything on your bass boat is broken......You just don't know it yet.
