I hit something under the water, likely a log, and it chipped off this piece of my lower unit. I don't think it'll affect functionality, but is there anything I can do with this? Should I bevel the edges to take the sharpness off and put some paint on it, hoping it won't crack further? Thanks!

That's what I would do also. Mine broke off a bigger chunk at the tail end caused by the prop catching debris and pressing against the vent plate. It didn't seem to affect performance but I didn't like the way it looked so I took it to a prop shop and had it fixed. Yours isn't near as noticeable.
