MRMACEY, After your boat sits for a day or so any water in the lower unit will settle to the bottom, crack the bottom (drain) screw until either oil or water comes out. from what I see in the pics there is no way you bent the shaft. Any sign of water, drain oil. Mercs use fibre washers on the drain screws. there only good for three or four checks then replace. Scandia prop in Fairhaven, does props and skegs. you will never know it was damaged, ask for John.
