Oarlock Sockets

For mounting a second rowing station in any of our boats.

So, here's the deal:  All of our rowing craft are supplied with one set of these along with oarlocks. You're all set as long as you sit in the center rowing station.  But if you add another passenger (usually in the stern), the rowing craft's trim will be affected.  For example, if the rower is sitting in the middle, and the passenger is in the stern, then any rowing boat that weighs less than 300 pounds (and that's ALL of ours) is going to squat by the stern in a way that's lubberly at best and unsafe at worse.  Thus, to level the boat, the rower should move FORWARD, something that all of our rowing craft allow.  You move oars and oarlocks to the second set of oarlock sockets that you've installed.  The boat is level, rows better, and everybody's happy.
