Thank you for your comment, (and I like your...Tom,<br /><br />Thank you for your comment, (and I like your rowing blog, by the way!)<br /><br />Yes, I agree with you on all points. I particularly like your idea about using the old screw holes to through-bolt the oarlocks from the outside. That would certainly minimize the new holes I'd have to drill in the sheer clamp. <br /><br />If I find that I'm still getting frustrated with the spacers, I think implementing your suggestion would be a logical next step.<br /><br />As it is, I only expect to be rowing this boat on rare occasions. It is first and foremost an outboard boat. The oars are really just to indulge my occasional whim to row. I like to get into quiet little corners of the lake, cut the motor off, and just enjoy the peacefulness of it all. Those are the times I use the oars, to move the boat around as needed.<br /><br />(And, of course, in the event of an engine failure while I'm on the water) Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07865543091703550883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4881853998790693669.post-82876503948982892662017-05-23T04:54:12.005-07:002017-05-23T04:54:12.005-07:00Use longer oars... this will reduce the angle of t...Use longer oars... this will reduce the angle of the oars entering the water.<br />And/Or, move the locks to the outside of the gunnel and use thru bolts with nut caps rather than screws for the horizontal fasteners (going through the old screw holes) Result will be that oars will not hit the gunnel and the locks will be MUCH stronger (screwed in locks always, eventually, will loosen.
