eagerly checking out all the feedback . Not easy to find a pulley thats a reasonalble price and fits.  still looking  yes 15 amps is the figure.   

going to do another test on the water maybe tomorrow

Andrew Im blown away by your analytics.       My appologies ,    I was double checking the gear ratio because   the   tack results  came to 4 :1 and sure enough the big pulley is  10 "      
       Was the fact the boat was tied to the dock during all the tests accounted for ?    Humbly   Orest

According to the performance graph the maximum amps draw, at full throttle should be 13.6 amps, where the rpm will be 1788 this will output 8.8lbs of torque.

 14"pully 5.6:1 is a straight reduction to allow the motor to run at 1788 rpm; however at 14 amps and 14"pully the torque to the prop is only 47lbs whereas in the present setup torque to turn the prop at 275 rpm is 41lb and the torque rpm relationship is liner so maybe 290?

 

Go for 13.5"first it may be the best compromise and if you can borrow or rent a few options
