1/2" Shank Bronze Oarlock

These high-quality NRS 1/2" Shank Bronze Oarlocks are precision turned to fit oar mounts with a 1/2" diameter opening. They do not fit NRS Oar Mounts and are not for heavy boats and whitewater. Our proprietary manganese bronze alloy has outstanding rebound memory in the horns. The 3 1/2" long shaft is turned to a 1/2" diameter and is drilled for a split ring fastener (included). They work well with the NRS GigBob Oar Mounts. The horn opening is 1 5/8" with a 2 3/8" inside diameter. Since these 1/2" models have a smaller diameter shaft, they are not as strong as the regular 5/8" diameter models. We do not recommend them for whitewater use or with oars over 7.5'. Compare the measurements under the Specs tab to those of your oar shaft to ensure a good fit with these oarlocks.
