Default Minor mishap on the lake (anchor / prop) should I worry??

Well i'm surprised i haven't done it sooner but i did it today... I forgot
the anchor was down, started to go, and the boat just shut off once in
gear. the line was caught around the prop. After removing it all was
fine, but it took me two times of starting it and putting it in gear to
realize that is what happend. It seemed to run fine afterwards... After
pulling the boat out of the water all looked good the only thing was that
the prop seemed to have a little play in it. don't remember if it was
like that before or not. basically if i pull on the prop, it seemed liek
the entire shaft moved a very small amount...

Dunno what that means.. maybe the stress caused from the line pulled the
prop shaft a little??? should i worry??


No.
