Anyone think any dammage was done?

As long as noone started it without lube oil in it, it's fine. You might
find lube oil has leaked into the cylinders so pull it over a few times
with the lanyard removed so it doesn't start, in case it's hydrolocked with
more oil. It'll probably smoke like crazy once you do crank it until the
oil burns off in the cylinders.

Do an oil change and make sure the oil level is right, then pull it over to
make sure we're compressing fuel/air, not liquid oil.

There's a warning label on it warning you not to set it down like you've
been doing to your trusty ol 2-stroker for the last 40 years. Laying it on
its back with the cylinder down under the crankcase fills the cylinder with
oil from the crankcase....not good....hard on connecting rods if it cranks.

Of course, "they" don't tell you what a pain in the ass lube oil management
is in a small 4-stroke outboard when you buy it.....
