Hard(er) engagement of SS prop

I have both a stainless and aluminum prop for my 75 HP Merc.

I just switched from the alum to stainless, and the engagement

seems much harder with the stainless steel prop. I assume this is normal, the SS prop is heavier, but it seems a bit much to me. Am I going to shorten the life of anything in the lower unit with the stainless prop? I do get better performance out of the stainless, but ultimately I don't really need it. A couple mph isn't going to make or break my day on the water.

Thanks,

John
