Folding Prop

I have a Gori folding prop hung on my Volvo MD6A (Dufour27) that performs adeqately in most seas. When making a hard turn with power it makes a knocking sound that until checked out was somewhat alarming. Prop walk isn''t excessive, however I would like to have a little better performance in reverse. Beyond that no problems.
