Is the spread on your paddles still 60 degrees. If so do you see a problem with going to 30 degrees spread. If I'm thinking correctly this should give a 1 thru 6 on first half revolution. Then start back to 1 thru 6 on second half of revolution.  This should allow you to keep both paddles. In my mind it would look like two half spirals. But I'm not sure how this will effect the stroke on your lever arms. You may have to lengthen the levers and cut down the length of your paddles to allow for the shorter stroke. Not sure.

It would also allow you to place your weight further out on end of levers because of the gain in mechanical advantage on your shorter paddles.

Hi, interesting suggestions, thanks, nice to have options. Before I do anymore changes I should test it under load. Thanks again

Conservation of energy maybe a reason why this project could fail.
