Fishing Line around prop

I would like some advise regarding fishing line getting wound around the prop. I have a 1998 75 hp Force. Managed to get nylon fishing line wrapped around the prop whilst at anchor last weekend. I pulled as much line off the prop as I could but couldn?t get it all. The weather was rough, we were out at sea so I made the decision to run back to harbour with it as it was. No line left when we got back & no oil leaking from the prop shaft since.

I plan to remove the prop & look at the seal to see if it is cut about. Will also drain some gearbox oil to look for water.

Is there anything else I should be doing or anything I should be looking for to check for any damage?
