Gaco oarlocks are light, strong and constructed from UV and corrosion resistant black polypropelene. The mounting pin
(thole pin) is 10mm (3/8") hardened 316 SS for strength. Gaco oarlocks feature lower friction in both the horizontal and vertical planes and are naturally quiet in operation. The advanced design promotes a long service life that also prevents wear to the oars. Fits oars up to 2-1/4" in diameter. The set includes an adapter sleeve for use with a standard 1/2" rowlock socket.
Oars Not Included.
NOTE: If extra sockets are required, simply drill a hole in wood for the pin. A 7/16" (11mm) hole for softwood and a 13/32" (10.5mm) hole for hardwood can serve as an extra socket.
The Gaco Kit contains: 2 Oarlocks + 2 sockets + adaptor sleeves for existing sockets & fitting instructions.
Fitting the Rowlock to the oars
1. Lay the oars alongside each other so that the blades are together. Open the gate of the rowlock by pressing a screw driver into the the bottom of the slot at the front top of the rowlock.
2. Pull the gate open and slip the rowlock over the shaft of the oar.
3. Press the clip on the end of the gate shut. Repeat these steps with the second rowlock. The rowlocks must be mounted so that the arrows on top are pointing towards each other.
4. You now have a port and starboard oar. They will function much better if they are mounted so that arrow on the top of the rowlock is facing the bow when rowing. NB: If your rowlock sleeves have lugs on them you will need to cut them off with a knife (a simple task).
