Default Proper Prop?

Hi guys. I am very new to RC boating. I have a 38" RC PT boat with a .30 nitro engine. The prop I have on it seems to break loose in the water when the throttle is advanced to quickly or the boat is turned with any speed on it. I am an very experienced RC air guy. Do the same rules apply to boat props as air props? I would suspect that I need , larger diameter, a change in pitch, or more blades. Can you get me pointed in the right direction? It has a Octura 1440 prop on it now.



Thanks
