Counter balance your oars without buying new ones! These 4 lb. steel sleeves slide easily over the end of the oar, fasten securely to the shaft anywhere you want and are completely removable. This river tool is fully adjustable and will enable you to offset the weight of the oar outside your oarlocks. You can custom adjust these weights for multiple rowers, personal preferences, or for different rowing conditions. These will definitely save some wear and tear on the arms over the course of a long day (or week) on the water. Sleeves are secured to the oar with three 1/4"-20 x 1/2" length nylon pan head screws. Ideal for oars longer than nine feet.

Comments about Cataract Oar Counterbalance Sleeves:

These oar weights make a huge difference. I had paddled a couple of 16 mile stretches with a fair amount of flat water. Whew, wore out, added the oar weights and it really made the difference between tired wore out arms and arms with plenty of power left at the end of a long day. Very happy with these.
