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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstruction 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trac Outdoor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50470\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Telescoping boat paddle with hook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 54 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollapsed Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaft Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.25 inches (31.7 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anodized aluminum shaft; ABS plastic hook and blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Mechanism:\u003c\/strong\u003e Twist-lock, holds at any position\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuoyancy:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hook and blade float\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorrosion Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anodized aluminum shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 666996115458\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the Trac Outdoor telescoping paddle, part number 50470?\u003c\/strong\u003e It collapses to 36 inches for storage and extends to a full 54 inches for use, thanks to a two-stage telescoping shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the paddle stay locked at the length I set it to?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 50470 paddle uses a twist-lock telescoping mechanism that holds securely at any position within its 36 to 54 inch range, not just at the fully extended length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the paddle shaft made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The shaft is corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum, paired with a high-impact ABS plastic hook and blade for the working ends of part number 50470.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the paddle float if I drop it in the water?\u003c\/strong\u003e Both the hook and the blade on this Trac Outdoor paddle are designed to float, reducing the risk of losing it overboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is the paddle blade?\u003c\/strong\u003e The blade on part number 50470 measures 7.5 inches wide by 19 inches long, giving enough surface area for maneuvering small boats, kayaks, or tenders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does this paddle weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Trac Outdoor telescoping paddle weighs 2.4 pounds, light enough for one-handed use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the hook on the paddle used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The integrated hook end on part number 50470 is used for pushing off docks, fending off other boats or pilings, and general boat-handling tasks in addition to paddling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow compact does the paddle get for storage?\u003c\/strong\u003e Collapsed, the two-stage design of the 50470 paddle shrinks down to 36 inches, making it easier to fit in a rod locker, storage hatch, or under a seat than a fixed-length paddle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the shaft diameter of this paddle?\u003c\/strong\u003e The shaft on the Trac Outdoor 50470 paddle measures 1.25 inches (31.7 mm) in diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this paddle suitable as an emergency backup for a boat?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, its compact collapsed size and telescoping design make part number 50470 a practical choice to keep aboard for engine failures, tight-quarters maneuvering, or as a general auxiliary paddle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trac Outdoor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49031402848475,"sku":"TRC-50470","price":34.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/61YmdX5HxjL.jpg?v=1785213809","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/trac-outdoor-telescoping-boat-paddle-with-hook-36-to-54-inches-part-number-50470","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
