Oar Rights
- The spline of the Oar Right fits between the horns of an open oarlock to "lock" your oar blade in position for the most effective stroke.
- You can still feather the oar blade by simply tugging the oar in so the spline of the Oar Right clears the oarlock horns.
- For Carlisle and Cataract oars, use the Molded Oar Sleeve with the Oar Right for proper fit.
- The Oar Right clamps securely to the Molded Oar Sleeve with two beefy stainless steel bolts. (Sleeves sold separately.)
- Molded glass fill Nylon construction will give you years of troublefree service.
Large: Adjusts from 2" to 2 1/4" (Carlisle & Cataraft Oars with Oar Sleeve)

Comments about Oar Rights:
I have a AIRE 9' cat boat and run class III & IV whitewater rivers and creeks. I was having problems gripping my oars in pushy water and was getting arm fatigue. Adding these oar rights have eliminated all of that and am able to save my strength for when I really need it. I wasn't sure if I would like them at first because I have gotten used to feathering my oar blades when rowing. I didn't take long to realize that this was a upgrade I should have done a long time ago. I don't think I will ever go back to a standard oar stop again. I just wish they made a small convertible oar right so when I'm just fishing I could flip them up and have my feather control. I have a friend that also has them on his cat boat he loves them to.

Comments about Oar Rights:
I use these on a Porta-Bote upgraded rowing setup on lakes and flat water. I use Caviness composite aluminum oars very similar to the Carlisle economy oar but they come in a longer length I wanted. I also us Outcast oarlocks though I would buy the Gigbob ones here to do it again. This system works great! It's nice and tight and the oar with oar right strokes perfect every time. The oar only slides in at the throat so they can't pop out .

A:
I'm using these right now with rope wrapped Cataract oars with no problem. I've also used them on Carlisle oars with the sleeves so I think it shouldn't be a problem with the Sawyers.Answered on 2/21/2013 by AnonymousA:
At 1 13/16" in diameter on the rubber sleeve, the Utility oar falls right smack in the gap between the two Oar Right sizes. You can squeeze the Small on the sleeve (it has some give) but you'll need longer stainless steel bolts.Answered on 2/21/2013 by Clyde from NRSVERIFIED BUYER
A:
I do not have any personal experience with the Sawyer Utility oars, but the Sawyer website has the following info.
OAR RIGHTS
The Innovative Oar Right is a oar stopper with a guide that fits between your oarlock horns and keeps the oar blade in a vertical position. Helps position your oar for the most effective, powerful stoke. Can be used over your oar shaft protection of choice (rope wrap, plastic sleeve, etc.).
Convertible version can flip up and out of the way when you want to be able to feather your oar or locked down for full-power strokes.
The Stub version allows you to choke up on the oar to clear the oar lock for a quick feathering option. Features:
• Oar stopper & guide for maximum stroke efficiency
• Molded, glass filled nylon for durability
• Easy to install 2 piece clamp on style with stainless steel bolts
• Designed to fit over oar shaft protection
Specifications:
• Large Oar-Right: fits 1-7/8" to 2" diameter oars (most whitewater models)
