Questions & Answers about Attwood Clamp-On Oarlock: 2012-04-05 BRIAN HARTLEY asked: Is there a minimum and maximum size shaft that these will fit? +Expand Answers 2012-04-05 CHRIS BURKE: in my experience, all shafts are standardized, meaning thay are all the same size...in other words "one size fits all. 2012-04-05 ROBERT SACHS: The perfect size oar shaft diameter is 1-5/8". If an oar is smaller in diameter that that, wrap the shaft at the spot where you will be placing the oar lock with duct tape or leather in order to take up the slack. Kind of a red neck solution, but it works perfectly. Had to do this with a pair of basswood oars and it worked fine. 2012-04-05 WILLIAM HULL: If you are talking about the adjustable part you can shim using cork wrap or gasket material. If you are talking about the shaft pin I believe it is a standard oar lock size. Hope this helps 2012-05-11 TERESA PEAVLER: Sorry I'm not sure 2011-11-29 A shopper asked: hi can you tell me about the screws & bolts used? +Expand Answers 2011-11-29 KEITH MEYER: I HAVE NOT PUT THEM ON MY OARS YET, BUT I THINK THE BOLTS ARE GALVANIZED 1/4'' WITH NUTS. THEY SEEM TO BE HEAVY DUTY FOR THE JOB, AND THE PRICE OF THE OARLOCKS. 2011-12-06 CAROLYN COMEAUX: Not much to it. The stem fits into the hole on the side of the boat. You put the oar into the clamp and bolt both together. I'm going to change mine to a butterfly nut so I can adjust the length of the oar easier. And I tied a shoe string to the oar itself so the oar will not slip out of the oar locking clamp and fall into the water. Hope it helps. sue 2012-01-02 JILL SCHUMANN: We got them as a gift for someone else. I think they are 1/4 inch bolts (approx.) with a nut. 2012-01-07 PATRICIA LAGENDYK: They appear to be top quality. Is that what you were wondering? 2011-09-27 IVA DUNN asked: I have a set of these and they won't stay in the socket. my scocket is about 3" long. and mine barley come out the bottom, no way to put a pin in to hold , and there is not a hole for a pin. how do i make my oars stay in the scocket? I have a 1955 v bottom alumminum boat three seater.the side mount scocket was made in the boat? +Expand Answers 2011-09-29 MACK THOMAS: Iva D: I, too, have an older v-bottom aluminum fishing boat that did not have any oar sockets, but I wanted oars in case my old Johnson "Seahorse" 5.5hp motor stopped working. Based on your description (a picture would have helped), it sounds like your oar socket is inside (and possibly lower than) the gunwale (or gunnel, the outermost and uppermost edge of any small boat). So, when you are in the pull stroke, your oar is touching the gunwale and, because there is no pin to limit its movement, the oar lifts out of your socket. I suggest you purchase either the EDGEMOUNT OARLOCK SOCKETS or the TOP MOUNT OARLOCK SOCKETS which should be installed on the gunwale itself. I'd recomment the Edgemount because it is easier to install. The Topmount is trickier to install and requires a very large drillbit (7/8-inch) which cost me thirty bucks. Hope this helps. Good luck. 2011-09-29 CAROLYN COMEAUX: hi I bought the oar locks with the pins. But found out they would not fit my boat, so I got this type as shown on your post. It does fit my boat and I havent tried it out on th ewater as yet. If you still have the name of the manufacturer who makes the oar locks, maybe they would have a solution. I guess you know the pin has to rotate with the oars. You probably also know that you need a longer pin. Otherwise, I guess you could jam some leather or material that wouldn't shred in the hole to take up the empty space and still allow the pin to rotate. Sorry I don't have a better answer. Good luck. 2011-10-31 KURT CARLSON: probably need new sockets I have perko sockets with nylon bushings and can barely get the pins in with grease
