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 ?

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

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