A blockage over the intake grill could do it, seaweed can also block up a jet a treat.

Does your system use a clutch or hydraulics? If it's a clutch it could be slipping under load - if it's hydraulic the fluid could be cavitating in the pump.

Sorry for the delay - just seen a bloke who works on these - he said it could be a sheared drive to the hydraulic pump. Sometimes the woodruff key gives way and allows the shaft to spin under load giving problems like a slipping clutch. Could also be a rubber spline drive that is slipping.

try to turn the impellor from the rear and hopefully the drive shaft will turn at the same speed, if not, there lies your problem!!
