Oars & Oarlocks
Oars and oarlocks, as well as canoe and kayak paddles, are the simplest method of propelling your boat through water. No motor is required, no expensive sail and rigging package needed, you simply need your oars, paddles and oarlocks. Rowing is the way most people get out to their moored boat, or into shore while cruising.

What are Oarlocks?
Oarlocks are the holders attached to the gunwale of a boat, holding oars in place and acting as a fulcrum for rowing. We carry a variety of oarlocks such as the Ribbed and Round Horn oar locks, available in bronze, galvanized, chrome, and zinc. All feature an endhole for safety chains. We also carry oarlock sockets in regular, side plate, and angle plate in bronze, chrome, cast finished, manganese, and zinc. Oarlock safety chains keep your oarlocks from going overboard. The chain attaches to an eye at the end of the horn shank, and a toggle drops through the socket. Sold in brass, by the pair. Oarlocks can be attached to aluminum boats, rowboats, and more.
