Default Ok-I'm brain dead! Did I hurt anything?

While flushing my motors Sunday, I forgot I had the drives trimmed all the way up. Flushing was done 99% @ idle (750rpm) but there were a few times that I ran up to 1800 (for about a second or 2) while trying to get them to idle @ 1200. I saw the hose trying to collapse, so I flushed at idle.
Ran each one about 25 minutes.
Everything sounds OK. . . . . . . .
Does anyone think there would be any problems?

BTWid the same thing last year - no issues. . . . . .(knock on wood) Also had the U-joints checked after last year - they were/are fine.

Probably no damage. Just not a real smart move

I think if you did any damage you'd know it already, been there done that-now I just take my time and go over things twice before I proceed. One thing about a boat-when ya do screw up their unforgiving.
