Default prop venting

So sometimes when I get upset I sit down on the dock and discuss life's problems with my prop and feel a heck of a lot better. But then when I take her out and when I cut sharp turns, she starts venting. It typically only rises about 100 or 200rpms at most but yesterday she kicked in the turn(similar to slipping) and you could feel the prop re-bite. I told the installer and I brought the boat back and we measured everything in the back and determined that the placement on the bracket was correct (even had a second party confirm placement). I don't mind the the subtle rise in RPM's but she can't be kickin like that.

Anyone have any ideas or similar situations????? Its a Yammy F150 with a 14 1/2 x 17SS.
