You may need more rake or cup. They all have different designs for various results. What kind of boat and power......

Are you running the prop completely submerged?

Okay.... so you have a bow lift problem. It could be either lack of rake, not enough blade area/diameter,prop type (cleaver, round ear, etc) or a cup issue...or a bit of all.

My advice is contact Rolla and see what he suggests......... or if you borrowed the prop....... borrow a few more for comparison.
