Dave,,,, yes, well sort of, a prop can cavitat (cavitation),,, : the process of cavitating: as a : the formation of partial vacuums in a liquid by a swiftly moving solid body (as a propeller) or by high-intensity sound waves; also : the pitting and wearing away of solid surfaces (as of metal or concrete) as a result of the collapse of these vacuums in surrounding liquid

it's NOT from your prop being to deep, that's for sure,,, most-likely it's from to much diameter and not enough pitch, so your prop is spinning to fast, enhances cavitation...
