Bronze Top Mount Oarlock Sockets feature a burnished finish. These sockets are designed to work with 1/2" straight shank bronze oarlocks. Use flathead or ovalhead #10 bronze screws, sold separately. Sockets are sold by the pair.
Comments about Seadog Bronze Top Mount Oarlock Sockets:
Catalog text says "burnished" - this is misleading, casting is very rough and needs to be dressed with a file before use. Countersinks are very shallow and need to be deepened to accept #8 or #10 screws. On plus side, inside of socket is well-finished, and it doesn't take long to fix the problems. Overall reasonable value for the price.

Comments about Seadog Bronze Top Mount Oarlock Sockets:
Yes, they are rough. After all this is a sand casting. It can be honed down & polished if you want the "princess look". You will pay the higher price for labor. My only concern was different size oarlock shafts, which vary from one to the next. I bought two pair and there is a disparity from one to the next. Manufacturer needs better quality control. I will hone out and polish to suit my needs. Overall a very acceptable oarlock for the price.

Not all that bad
By Capt. Jim
from Wisconsin
Comments about Seadog Bronze Top Mount Oarlock Sockets:
I ordered two pairs of these oarlock sockets and found them to be more satisfactory than other reviews had led me to believe. The castings are not "perfect", but appear to be rugged and very appropriate for all but the most elegant rowing skiffs.

Very unfinished
By Alex the boatbuilder
from Knife River, Minnesota
Comments about Seadog Bronze Top Mount Oarlock Sockets:
Yes, these oarlock sockets are bronze and they do fit a 1/2" shank oarlock. That's really all the praise that can be given. They are poorly cast and, aside from the shaft hole, they are not machined at all. Since they are bronze you can dress them up with a belt sander and end up with an acceptable piece. Better plan on doing some work.
