Pretty sure it is 15 ampere.. Checked my original Seaward manual and that is what they recommend.. I think the electric heating element is 1500 watts if it is the original on the boat

15 amps

Our six gallon Seward tank draws ten amps during the heating cycle. A 15 amp breaker should handle it.

I'm not sure but a circuit breaker is meant to protect wiring against too high current from devices and shorts. A 15 amp breaker seems very appropriate for a 10 amp water heater.
