I was cruising when I noticed the motor sounded louder and then the temp warner screen came on. I went into neutral to check things out. The Serpentine belt had broken. It was late and I was about 300 yards from my dock. Limped in and checked the engine, there was smell like melted plastic or rubber. How can I tell it I did any damage to the engine? What else should I check out?

What boat do you have? Your belt probably broke due to a seized alternator pulley. Unfortunately, that requires a alt rebuild or new alt. the burned rubber smell could have came from the belt snapping after it spun on a seized pulley (most likely), or the exhaust couplings burning. Your engine is probably fine.
