Thanks for your inquiry. How many blades on the 9-pitch prop? Are the current props stainless or aluminum?
There's really 3 options...add a blade, get a 10-pitch or practice throttle control. The first two may not be viable with what's available in the market, though. If the current props are aluminum, going to a 9x9 stainless prop may do the trick, as they tend to have more rake and hard-wall cupping than the aluminum.
