I had a brain fart and started the motor and it ran for literally less

my mistake and cut motor off. Motor is brand new, E-tec 90.

Is there likely to be any impeller issues?

Depends to a great deal on whether your judgement of the elapsed time is
completely accurate.

It is accurate. I turned the key, the sound of the motor out of the
water immediately caught my attention and I turned the key off. I
believe I still had my hand on the key.

I had just been idling away from a fishing spot and my fishfinder
shallow warning went off. No sooner did it beep and I could feel the
prop hitting something. I had tilted motor up to inspect and forgot
to put it back down. Bent up my prop pretty good, must have been a
rock or a stump. Only the 3rd time out with new motor. Bummer. I
took the prop off and straigtened it as best I could, guess I should
go buy a new one and keep this one as a spare for an emergency.
