Comments about Oarlock Stainless Springs:
Great idea and keeps oars quieter, springs good, washers need (2) more, and also the key rings, they are flimsy. NRS should put the oar locks pin in the package instead.

Comments about Oarlock Stainless Springs:
These keep your oarlocks nice and quiet, especially if you add a little silicon grease where these rub and where your oarlock goes through the oar stand. No more squeaks.
