Sea-Dog Ribbed Horn Oarlock 580412-1, Chrome Plated Zinc, Sold as a Pair

The Sea-Dog 580412-1 is a ribbed horn oarlock built for light service duty on small boats. Its die cast zinc body is chrome plated for a bright, corrosion-resistant finish, and because zinc does not react galvanically with aluminum, this oarlock is a strong choice for aluminum vessels where dissimilar-metal corrosion is a concern. The ribbed horn shape helps hold the oar securely in the lock through changing sea conditions, so rowers keep consistent control of their stroke without the oar slipping or chattering in the socket.

Each oarlock measures 2 inches across the horn (A), with a 1/2 inch pin/shaft dimension (B) and an overall height of 2-1/4 inches (C). This listing is for the pair (two oarlocks), and each pair weighs 0.546 pounds. Sea-Dog recommends this oarlock for freshwater use. It is intended as a matched pair for standard oar mounting and is a straightforward, durable option for dinghies, tenders, and other small craft rowed with traditional oars.
