Oar-Deal

Description & Features

The Oar-Deal is a full rubber oar protector and stop designed for wood utility oars. It cushions each stroke while protecting the shaft from wear at the oarlock, helping extend the life of your oars and maintain smooth performance.

This roll-on design creates a continuous protective layer that absorbs impact and reduces noise and friction. Designed for bare wood shafts (not for use over rope wrap), it offers a clean, durable solution for traditional rowing setups.

Best Use

• Traditional wood oar setups needing protection and cushioning

Fit & Function

The Oar-Deal slides onto the oar shaft using the included installation cone, creating a tight, uniform fit on bare wood. Once installed, it acts as both a protective sleeve and an oar stop, reducing friction at the oarlock while maintaining consistent positioning.

The rubber construction absorbs shock during each stroke, helping reduce noise and wear while improving overall feel on the oars.
