[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 455061, member: 15636"] OARS - Charts online will tell you the length you need, as it depends on the beam (width) of the hull. I prefer the round oarlocks (vs. the “U” shaped ones) that stay on the oar, with a padded surface (sleeves - wrapped leather or synthetic) where the oarlock rides. I also like the hard stop at the inboard end of the sleeve that keep or position the oars at the correct length for rowing. That stop also keeps the oarlocks locked onto the oars, so they can’t be misplaced or lost overboard ... or forgotten at home. Make sure your oar sockets are in good shape, as if old cast stuff, they could have weakened. LENGTH - [i]”This length will provide an oar where 7/25 the length is inboard of the oarlocks and 18/25 of the oar is outboard of the oarlocks. It is the ideal ratio to row almost all boats. Sized correctly, when rowing your hands will be 1 to 3 inches apart and you will be pulling directly towards your abdomen.”[/i] Link for more info = https://www.shawandtenney.com/how-size-your-oars [/QUOTE]
