Just to get it right, is this about what you use?
4 kg Pale
.5 kg Wheat
.5 kg Flaked Maize
We need to know how much volume you collect into your kettle, and the SG (we'll assume you temperature adjust your reading).
What sort of volume do you leave behind in your mash tun?
Are you actually getting 23 litres at 1.042 to 1.044 into the fermenter? If so, that's about 70% brewhouse efficiency.
What's your mill gap and procedure?
Have you checked your hydrometer? I have 3, which all read within about 1 point of each other. If you only have the one, are you sure it is accurate?

If your SG into the kettle is 1.042, and you have the same SG into the fermenter, you must have absolutely no boil off? That can't be correct.

I reckon your crush could be most of your problem, you still need a descent hydometer-refractometer though.
Cheers
