balance your load first these boat/motor setups are very sensitive to weigh distribution. You can add a torque tab or slightly bend your skeg. Torque tab works for me

Load placement in the hull can have alot to do with tiller torque. Was the boat empty or did you have stuff or people in it? Sometimes mounting the motor slightly off center,usually an inch can help. Sounds like you may have the motor trimmed too high if you are throwing a rooster tail that big.

It's pulling away from you? If so then try bending back towards the skeg a lil bit and try it out. A large crescent should work.
