The horn style pin locks the oar into the socket, preventing it from popping free or slipping out of position during use, which makes it a practical choice for anyone who rows regularly rather than just drifting with the oars shipped.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth the oarlock horn and the socket are constructed of die cast zinc with a chrome plating, giving the set a bright, corrosion resistant finish. Because zinc does not react galvanically with aluminum, this set is an especially good match for aluminum hulled boats where dissimilar metals can otherwise cause corrosion at the mounting point. Sea-Dog rates this set for light service duty and recommends it for freshwater use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe set measures 1-5\/8 inches across the horn opening, with a 1\/2 inch pin diameter and a 2-1\/4 inch overall dimension on the socket side, and is sold as a matched pair (one oarlock and one socket). Installation is straightforward: the socket mounts to the gunwale and the pinned oarlock horn drops into it, ready for the oar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sea-Dog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 580411-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Horn Pin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Die cast zinc, chrome plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHorn Opening (A):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin Diameter (B):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Dimension (C):\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 pair (oarlock and socket)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 035514580076\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Freshwater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Application:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum vessels (avoids galvanic corrosion)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the Sea-Dog 580411-1 oarlock and socket set?\u003c\/strong\u003e The horn opening measures 1-5\/8 inches, the pin is 1\/2 inch in diameter, and the socket dimension is 2-1\/4 inches on this Sea-Dog set, part number 580411-1.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the oarlock and socket made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e Part number 580411-1 is made of die cast zinc with a chrome plated finish, giving it a bright appearance and resistance to corrosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this oarlock set good for aluminum boats?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.
