Loss of "grip" in turns

[geeco1]

I have recently purchased a 17 ft Blue Fin Sportsman with an 1988 85hp Force. As I start to feel this boat out, I'm sure that I'll have several questions, but here is the first one.

When I am running at WOT I can turn to the right with no problem, but when I turn to the left the prop loses "grip" in the water. I can hear the engine rev-up but the boat will not turn as tight and slows down. When I staighten back-up, the prop "digs in" again and off I go. Any ideas on how to correct this?

Thanks,
Geeco

You need to ask this question in the propeller forum.
