Trac Outdoor Telescoping Boat Paddle with Hook, 36 to 54 Inches, Part Number 50470

The Trac Outdoor telescoping boat paddle, part number 50470, is a compact two-stage paddle built for boaters who need reliable backup propulsion or push-off power without permanent onboard storage space. The paddle extends from a collapsed length of 36 inches to a full working length of 54 inches, then locks securely at any position along that range using a smooth twist-lock telescoping mechanism, so you can dial in the exact length for the job and trust it will hold under load.

Construction pairs a corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum shaft with a high-impact ABS plastic hook and blade. Both the hook and the blade are designed to float, which reduces the chance of losing the paddle overboard during use. The integrated hook end lets the paddle double as a push-off or fending tool for docking, while the 7.5 inch wide by 19 inch long blade provides solid surface area for paddling a small boat, kayak, dinghy, or tender. The two-stage telescoping design collapses down small enough to tuck into a rod locker, storage hatch, or under a seat, making it a practical space-saving alternative to a fixed-length paddle.

At 2.4 pounds, the paddle is light enough to handle one-handed while still feeling sturdy in the water. It suits boaters who want a dependable manual paddle on hand for engine failures, running aground, tight-quarters maneuvering, or general auxiliary use on any boat where deck space is limited.
