I Agree too complex to solve seems like one problem (blade getting wacked head on),

Im not positive but I thought the hydroskeg was a 1:1 ratio between the slider and Blade. thus if you hit somthing the slider moves the same distance that the blade moved and vice versa move the slider an inch blade moves same (no mechanical advantage as with hydraulic machinery).

I have to say I have been very happy with the Kajak sport kit, I usualy make everything myself But the Kajak sport kit was just too easy to not use!>
