Questions & Answers
Not sure. They're 6 feet tall. They float and are made up of two separate pieces. My aluminum row boat is 13 feet long. It was a perfect match.
Yes. That's the way it goes. After stalking the oar, a cotter pin could be inserted into the bottom of the oar lock, but the oar lock should fit snugly enough to keep the oar in place. When not in use, don't leave the oars in the boat.
"Does the average man have the ability to bend or break them in half?" " Not in normal working conditions." However, I'm sure you could bend or break them if you really wanted to.
Pin diameter is standard and compatible with all standard oar locks- I believe it's a half-point. inch. Unless you're a gorilla, in which case; rowing in a fluid that is viscous and plastic in comparison to water (such as mud; They should be able to withstand anything you throw at them with oars (whether it's water, sand, or cement).

The oar locks were broken because they were mounted backwards, I believe. Putting the pressure on the ring instead of the shaft has worked well so far, but I can see how they would break if the mounting was switched around.
By tapping (not WACKING!) the oar collar positions, you can adjust the length of the oar collar positions. With a hammer, pound them up and down the oar shaft. (At least, that's what I did because I hate rowing with the handle grips crossed. ) ) Also, make sure the upper and lower pieces are lubricated where they meet. Although the connection is secure, I imagine that even a small amount of oxidation or corrosion would cause them to freeze solid. Teflon grease was used in this project.
They fold up when not in use and are ideal for a 12 foot john boat. They're very sturdy, and their quality impresses me. These are the oars to get if your boat is 12 feet or smaller.
We put these oars to use on a small rowboat on the river as soon as we got them. They work fine, though the oar locks must be positioned in a specific way to prevent the oars from slipping out. I prefer oars with stationary locks, which can easily be accomplished by drilling a hole once the best position has been determined. By moving the plastic slides, you can change the position of the oars in the locks. It took some effort to get them to move, but it was doable. It's a plus that they can be broken down into two pieces. The button, on the other hand, has a poor design. It is prone to slipping out of place and must be re-adjusted. put in place I'd buy it once more.
I'm not sure how people manage to break this; it's built to last. Rowing on the metal peg, rather than against the loop, is common sense. It's fantastic, and my wife and I were able to argue about it without difficulty. This will provide excellent fishing for many years.
I bought these oars to put on a small canoe that was 12 feet long, and I only used them once before the ring oar lock broke (see photo). I wasn't a big guy, but the metal pin was on the right side for rowing. One backstroke was all it took for the cheap plastic ring to snap and fly into the water. br>br>Within 30 minutes of my canoe trip, something like this happened. By carefully holding the oar on the remaining plastic, it took nearly an hour to row back. I wouldn't recommend these for anything other than a kid's toy or a high-priced toy.
These are something I'd buy again. I didn't expect them to hold up as well as they do. I was constantly purchasing wooden oars only to have them rot away. These are almost maintenance-free and far more durable than I anticipated. I have a dent in one, but it was an accident when I was exiting the boat and fell into the dock, so I; I'm not going to hold it against them. These are something I'd buy again.
You can see a video review of the game on my TY channel, which you can find here. ]br>I've also put up a video of the boat in action, both with the motor and with the oars, which you can watch here.
