    Damage from hitting log?

    2010 90HP Optimax 1B803508 Got caught out on the lake after dark last weekend and hit a long in the middle of the lake going about 20 mph, motor still ran fine but when I got back to the ramp the motor wouldn't trim up. When I pulled it out of the water I found that the hydraulic cylinder for the trim had split, I know there is a impact release valve in the assembly to keep that from happening but I guess at 20MPH the valve couldn't release quick enough. I filed a claim with the insurance company and took it to the local Tracker/Mercury dealer to have them fix it, is there anything else I should have them to check while its in there?
