If the prop is a good stainless....most likely aftermarket, going up 2 holes off the transom will likely ventilate at the maximum trim angle the rig can get to and trying to make a moderate turn at the same time. In most cases such as this, a quick bump down in trim to make the turn is used, then trim back up while running straight. Trimming down allows the bow to help carve the turn.. Having to make small adjustments like that mean your rig is running quite efficiently... in most cases, the higher the motor is mounted and propped correctly, the boat will ride higher as well..
I don't believe Suzuki will makes a steel prop in the size you would need according to the website... they have aluminum down to 14 x 11 pitch. Steel options will be limited for selection but they are out there....michigan, solas, power tech... I'm not sure you will be successful in finding an 11 pitch steel... I have not researched that size and pitch, but will do so..
Trim is something that always is in constant adjustment depending on conditions..
I believe Mr Worrall and I are on the same page...he has much more experience with tuffy rigs, so going up higher could very well be correct if the Esox transom by design is higher than others...
