ya that kinda worried me enough to take mine apart and grind both surfaces clean. I haven't seen any longterm outcomes from the shortcut.
I think there may be a way of removing just the motor well to get enough access to get some of the inside skin off and grind. Hopefully I'll never do a transom again!
