Directions
- Standing outside the boat at the bow, take
the strap with the ring attached and pass the loop between the
frame and the boat. Take the other end with the O-ring and pass
through the loop. Cinch tight against the frame. Do the same at
the stern with the strap and buckle assembly.
- With the spare oar blade pointing to the stern
of the boat, bring the strap under and then around the neck of
the oar blade (the narrow point of the blade where it attaches
to the shaft). Feed the loose end of the strap back through the
strap slide.
Note: For oars equipped with Carlisle Blades:
The strap can be run through the slots on Carlisle blades and
finished off by running the loose end back through the strap slide.
- With the oar handle pointing to the bow, place
the shaft through the O-ring 1-2 feet past the handle.
- Make any necessary bow or stern Oarkeeper
strap height adjustments to make the spare oar horizontal. Finish
by sliding the strap slides down against the O-ring and the blade
respectively.
- Take the loose ends of the straps and double
them back through the strap slides. This will lock your adjustments
in place and prevent slippage.
