STORING AND MAINTENANCE OF OARS
When not in use, store in a dry place away from direct sunlight. You should check the condition of your oars regularly. If the oars are fine but the varnish is damaged, please remove the varnish and apply 2-3 layers of urethane varnish.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT ROWLOCK
For oars with round shafts we recommend Lahnakoski rowlocks made of plastic or Lahnakoski oar collars combined with open U-formed rowlocks. Fixed clamp-on rowlocks suit also very well. Rowlock with through-bolt should not be used as they may weaken the oars and the guarantee does not cover such defects.Traditional lake oars with square formed shafts are used with through-bolt rowlocks.
SELECT THE RIGHT SIZE OARS
When selecting oars, length is the most important factor. The below chart shows min. & max. recommendations. High free-board boats require longer oars, low free-board boats may use shorter oars. In flowing water shorter oars are recommended.
