someone broke my uboat

Okay, I'm on my second patrol out of Wilhelmshaven with a Type VIIB. The first patrol was just in the middle of the north sea, and I didn't notice anything wrong. My second patrol was to AM11, finally a good chance to try out this thing.

I noticed that whenever changing from batteries to deisel engines, at first the boat was going slow for my speed settings, i.e. 7 knots instead of 10 at ahead 1/3, 10 knots instead of 13 at Standard. I looked with the free camera, only to find that my starboard propeller was not working. Only after a couple of game hours at the same speed would the propeller kick in. I haven't been damaged at all, and the engine room is fully staffed. The dials for engine RPM in the command room say that both engines are working properly (are these just for decoration, or are they supposed to be accurate?).

Anyway, I just wanted to know if anyone else ran into this, if I did something wrong and didn't notice or whatever. I've never experienced this before, so I really have no idea what the problem might be.
