Default Prop?
I recently changed the prop on my tohatsu 40. Now when I take off, if I'm not trimmed all the way down and accelerating the prop looses pull and sounds like its slipping. Is it possible that I put the thrust washer on the wrong way ?

When I was in the market for a prop for my 90 Optimax, the guy at Power Tech told me I needed a 13p because of my boat having a tunnel. I ended up with a 19p with heavy cup and it still wasn't enough. I would bet you could add some pitch or add some cup if it is a tunnel hull and solve your problem.

Sounds like you need more cup. Or your motor may be set too high for that prop

Does it do it when you take off trimmed all the way down?

1/5 times trimmed all the way down it will do it.
