Something got caught on the propeller.

We stopped. I switched off the engine, opened the engine bay, unscrewed the weedhatch, and then stuck my arm through the rectangular opening, into the murky water up to my bicep, to feel for debris around the propeller and driveshaft.

It was a heavy plastic bag.

Doing this, I always think of the vets in All Creatures Great & Small, with their arm up some cow. #eww!
