Does your strut have a skeg? (fin under strut)

Just my feelings here ... WRONG PROP !
When I had and raced my AM Conquest best handling and speedy prop was the Propshop 7016/2
As you are experiencing now SOME props when set up hub above water line ( High Surface drive ) the prop walk is excessive causing hull to handle poorly with tracking issues or blow off troubles.

Prop change ;)

A 7016/2 should be just fine with a mid mod IMO
Ideally a BAG tank ahead and under engine is best, Hard tank in sponson LEFT SIDE helps counter prop torque left side sponson lift, Right side as you are should be just fine if playing and not racing ;)

No right or wrong way ... end result in HOW WELL you set boat up trim wise playing with props, there depth and C/G balance.

Yes please post some pictures. Best props on my Conquest are 6717/3 series from Brent Daily. Been racing the Conquests or over 5 years now and still as competitive as any.
