Comments about NRS Frame 10" Oar Mount:
For multi-day river trips I sit on a dry box which puts me about 4-4.5 inches above the frame. 8 inch oar towers are too short, as I wouldn't be able to lift my oar blades far enough out of the water to keep them from hitting random waves and stuff while drawing the oars forward in between strokes. This caused a near flip one time, actually. But these 10 inch towers elevate the oars enough that it is not a problem anymore. If your set-up has you sitting much higher above the frame than a typical NRS frame seat, I would recommend these.

Comments about NRS Frame 10" Oar Mount:
This mount is solid and well built. I had no clue as to wether the 8" mount or the 10" mount were going to be the better height for my application. On a 72" cat frame witn a flip seat mount on top of a dry box this size oar mount works for me.

- NRS Frame 10" Oar Mount
Q:
I'm using a 54 inch NRS frame on a small raft, and I row from a dry box. I need a bit more width to get my oar balance right. Can I use these, and tilt them out to give me more width? The 8 inch oar mounts I have now are close, but I can't tilt them out any further or the oarlock angle will be too much.Asked on 3/31/2013 by Rafter Girl from Sandy, Utah4 answers

A:
I can't give you a definitive answer, but a guess. I row a zodiac style 12'
rigid transom raft that has a custom 50" frame. It wasn't until NRS came out
with the 10" oar locks that I was able to row and not just use my electric or
gas motors. What a heresy, a raft I couldn't row, so no river use. In any
case, I also use smaller oars (7.5' cataract 2-piece mini mags), but my best
guess is that the 10" will do the trick. The 8" were ever too short, but not
by much. (I needed more clearance for my seat). If you are that close, I'm
betting the 10" will provide the necessary balance. Take this guess with as
many grains of salt as necessary, and good luck!VERIFIED BUYER
A:
I did the same thing, ordered the 54" wide frame, 9' oars and 10" mounts. I winged them out a bit to balance the oars and find my personal preference on the angle of the blade and height of the oar handles. They'll work great for you, especially since you're sitting on the dry box.

A:
The extra 2" will definitely give you more arc for spreading the oarlock distance. Since you only need "a bit more" another option probably doesn't help you - that is a u-shaped bend of frame pipe attached to the side rails with LoPros. That can extend the oar mount placement out 9", center-to-center of the two pipe sections.Answered on 4/1/2013 by Clyde from NRSVERIFIED BUYER
A:
The new oars stand will move your oarlocks out about 6.5 to 7 inches to
the outside of frame rail mount.Thats about 13-14 inches increase to your
overall width minus the 8" stands. You can give up some height for more
width by pulling the stand out more ,but its a trade out of height. I'm
setting about 2 " above the frame rail now and planning to go up 2 "more
inches to a DRE seat. This is about 4 inches increase above the frame.
calling for 2 inch increase in oars stand to ten inches overall. good luckAnswered on 4/3/2013 by Anonymous

Q:
I paddle from a high anglers seat can I use the tall oarlocks and make it work.,..that is would my paddles reach?Asked on 12/13/2012 by Express from Harpers Ferry W.Va1 answer
A:
We designed these 10" oar mounts for folks rowing from an elevated position. I row with them and my bottom is ~ 9" above the raft side rails. If your oars reach from a lower position, they should reach from a higher one. They will be entering the water at a steeper angle. Call or drop a line if you have further questions.Answered on 12/14/2012 by Clyde from NRS

Q:
Rowing from a dry box on my fishing frame. 6" oar stands too short. Would these be to tall? What's the down side to having an oar stand that may be a bit to tall?Asked on 12/3/2012 by Grainboy from Alberta canada3 answers
A:
I row from my dry box, using a Flip Seat Mount, and these are perfect. This puts my butt a good 10" above the center of the crossbars. If you sit lower than this, the 8" may be okay.Answered on 12/5/2012 by Clyde from NRSVERIFIED BUYER
A:
Grainboy,
I have the NRS flip seat mount on top of my drybox on my 14' rivercat. The
10" oar stands work great with my 10' oars. Downside is that NRS doesn't
have the information that you need on their website. I have not tried the
8" oar stands so I can't say whether they will work. The good thing is
that you can send them back and get the ones that will work best for you.VERIFIED BUYER
A:
I was faced with a similar problem (Not on cooler, but have narrow 48 inch frame and long legs on seat). Wasn’t sure if I wanted the 8 or 10 inchers, but am glad I picked the 10. If they are a little too high you can angle them out to get the perfect height. I also switch out to the angler chair on easy water and it was higher than low back seat, but was still easy to get the perfect height. Expensive, but worth it.
Hope that helps,
