What damage is most likely, other than pride, when the outdrive get dragged
at the launch ramp if not raised when coming out of the water?
I/O with fin below prop

Chip or bend or break the skeg (fin).

Sorry, I meant internal damage.

Internal damage? Probably none.

Will it still raise and lower ok? You've joined a large club of us that
have done the same thing. It take's happening one time (at least) to help
us remember the rest of the times.

If the trim buttons still work, and all you did was some minor scraping,
you probably didn't hurt anything other than paint on the skeg.

No problem raising or lowering. Pride's a little rough around the edges,
though.
