Twang!

I idiotically managed to prop my SO 29.2 on Saturday- 10 miles out. So I left it propped and sailed it to the mooring. I left it over night and snorkelled down to unwrap. I noticed that as I unwrapped a couple of turns - there was a distinctive twang noise. This happened twice, as I unwrapped a 12mm rope. The rope had wrapped between the back of the prop and the back of the P bracket. As I thought it through, I think that the rope may have jacked the gap between the prop and P bracket- thus putting pressure on either the shaft coupling at the gear box or possibly the P bracket mounting Am I likely to have caused damage?
All appears to be OK at present -no leaks, no vibes- all equipment currently working.
Regards
