Sea-Dog Oarlock Socket Reducer Bushing 5/8 to 1/2 In
Sea-Dog Oarlock Socket Reducer Bushing 5/8 to 1/2 In — Product description
These Sea-Dog reducer bushings drop into a 5/8-inch oarlock socket and take it down to a 1/2-inch inner diameter, so smaller oarlock pins seat snug instead of rattling. Molded polypropylene that won't corrode. Sold as a set of two.
Got a boat or dinghy with 5/8-inch oarlock sockets but a set of oars with 1/2-inch pins? That mismatch is more common than you'd think, and it's exactly what these Sea-Dog reducer bushings fix. Each one drops into a 5/8-inch socket and takes the inner diameter down to 1/2 inch, so your smaller oarlock horns seat snug instead of rattling around.
They're molded from polypropylene, so they won't corrode or seize up the way a metal sleeve can after a season in salt air. The 1-9/16-inch length gives the oarlock shaft plenty of bearing surface, which keeps the lock from wobbling when you're pulling hard. You get two in a set, one for each side.
Simple part, but it's the kind of thing that saves a trip back to the dock. Keep a set in the gear bag and you're covered when the oars don't quite match the boat.
