I took my boat today in the river and must have hit a floating log. I was going real slow when I heard a small thud. I noticed a little vibration but not much. I got the boat onto our lift and when I inspected the prop I notciced that there is a slight bend in just one of the 3 fins (Volvo penta SX). Is this somthing I should take off while the boat is on the lift or should I take it in?

My thought was to take it off while still on the lift and have it refurbished and than I put it back on. I'm not the most mechanically inclined but I read the manual and it seemed pretty self explanatory to remove and replace a prop. I know to grease it when placing it back on are there any other secrets because it seems pretty straight foward.
