12T v 13T

Hi,
I've got a probe 12 esc with a 13 turn motor.7.2v p/pack
as supplied by a model shop.
Now for my problem, yes you've guesed, It keeps stopping.
it's a brushed motor etronics sport tuned 13t, direct drive with a 35mm 2 blade prop, now, holding the boat In the water I get 4.7amps full forward and 9.3amps on half speed.
a probe 12 has a 12t max, would 1turn make that much difference?
I'm not a speed freak I just like gentle boating with gentle problems.
even on a slow run It stops then I just let It sit and It's off again for another couple of mins,
this esc Is rated at full forward current of 46a,
reverse current of 30a, so It should be able to handle It In any direction, shouldn't It?
sorry the boats a 34inch crash tender, I had the original 3 blade prop on It at first as I thought It was that.
can any one guide me In the right direction? as my home Is a narrowboat on a marina and all this water and sunshine Is driving me nuts.
THANKS SHIPMATES.
