Sea-Dog Top Mount Oar Lock 580450-1, Chrome Plated Zinc, Aluminum-Safe

The Sea-Dog 580450-1 is a Top Mount style oar lock built for light service duty rowing applications. Constructed of die cast chrome plated zinc, it is designed to be a safe choice for aluminum vessels because it does not cause the galvanic corrosion issues that can occur when incompatible metals are paired on an aluminum hull. Sea-Dog recommends this oar lock for freshwater use.

As a Top Mount style, the 580450-1 installs directly onto the mounting surface rather than using a pin-and-socket or horn configuration, giving it a low profile compared to other styles in the Sea-Dog oar lock lineup. The chrome plated finish provides a clean, corrosion-resistant appearance on aluminum jon boats, dinghies, and other small craft that use oars for auxiliary propulsion or backup power.

This is a compact, lightweight piece of hardware at 0.338 pounds, with a product footprint of 5.56 x 1.94 x 1.25 inches. It ships as part number 580450-1, the Sea-Dog manufacturer part number for this specific Top Mount configuration.
