Quick question of clarification... when you say the torque tab is adjusted to the left, was the rear of the tab to the left or the front of the tab?
Regardless, I would move the tab so it is in line with the prop shaft and test it there for torque. If you feel a bunch of torque while turning left, then turn the rear of the tab just a touch to the left. This should help it turn left and hopefully offset some of the torque you feel. Continue adjusting to your liking.
Do you happen to have a GPS and/or a tachometer on the boat? To get started with a prop change, having a baseline for GPS speed and top speed RPM while trimmed out with your normal load will go a long way to start adjusting.
With the current prop you have, how does the boat perform coming out of the hole if you punch it? Does the bow rise way up and slowly come up to speed or does it pop right up and you are on your way quickly? This can be a small gauge as to whether or not the current prop you have is the right pitch and diameter as well.
