Bit early for leaves around the prop and "the prop was clear" would fit with that. I notice that some willows are starting to shed a fair number of leaves - just a thought.

Also could it be duck weed?

 

Even though it's still August I have noticed several areas on our current trip where there were lots of leaves floating and have had to to succesfully resort to a quick burst of reverse to or 3 times to clear the prop.

I blame Climate Chaos.

For about £3-£4, you can purchase water finding paste from heating merchants who sell oil boiler spares and equipment. A dab of this on a stick will tell you what the bottom of the tank is like.

Thanks everybody - I am going to compile a list from your recommendations and get an engineer to go through them all.
