I assume this is an outboard or an IO. Those take line a bit better than a
pure inboard. Everything should be fine. Check your lower unit oil
every so often to make sure it is not milky (Water). The play is normal.

I actually did the same thing 20++ years ago... dropped a skier in the
water handed them everything... wondered why I couldn't get them out of
the water... luckily I didn;t get it wrapped... not sure why...
