Prop looks like it might straighten. as for gear freefalling I was surprised they never tried it before lifting, then as it rose they could pull it manually down and lock it, that way they would have had the gear to put it down on when lowering out of the sea, but I don't know the system it uses.. Cowl paint simply hasn't adhered to the primer, that would have eventually shown itself up.
