Normally a too large prop will not cavitate just the opposite. A too small diameter prop will break loose faster, too much trim will also cause cavitation and a worn out rubber hub will also give the same results.<br /><br />Post more info on your rig and that will also help with the answers you receive.<br /><br />Bob
