how used scotty oar for oar aluminum

This socket insert will work fine with any oar which has the correct pin size (1/2 inch) on the oar and the correct hole size (5/8 inch) for the insert to fit in the oar lock on the boat.

I bought the solid ring oar locks to use on mine. They work best for choppy water by keeping the oars in the locks. The "U" shape locks will pop the oars out, especially since they are buoyant.

We bought a simple 3 rod holder on line and zip tied it to the wire frame next to the motor mount. Worked great. One rod holder comes with the boat that can be mounted on either side to the oar railing

Whoa... this is a huge problem! I bought these propellers and installed them, they work great! However, one crash later, I find that one of my aluminum posts has stripped and can no longer hold the screw, therefore I can't use these props AT ALL! We need to be able to purchase spare aluminum posts AND screws. Can you post specifications on the screws and posts so that we can find them at our local hardware stores when these things break, please?

One thing you may want to think about, the spindles are not threaded for the OEM bolts, I simply used bolt through the deck and spindles with nuts and lockwashers, although the cast aluminum would be fairly easy to thread for the OEM bolts.

I used it last summer with a sand auger and it performed extremely well even on windy days. I never rely just on the built-in auger. I dig a little hole, get the separate auger in really deep, and I'm good for the day!

I'm using the ss nuts on galvanized steel wheel rims so cannot offer any advice through experience; however, I don't believe ther will be a problem with aluminum rims based on my experience using ss bolts to secure my kicker motor mount.

I have used it in bare aluminum on a 1970 boat. I cleaned the boat with wire wheel. It is working very good so far.

I added a weldless spigot to this. Aluminum is much easier to drill out than steel, but still requires a strong drill and a good step bit.

I don't understand your question. But I have used Alka settee that I have bought that is over a year old. Works great!!

I have a 15 foot all welded aluminum boat which is quite heavy. My MK Endura Max 55 pushes it with no problem at a fairly decent rate of speed. We also have weeds in our lakes and deals with that issue quite well by occasionally cleaning the prop. I don't expect you will have anything to worry about in your situation as it has a variable speed control.

From listening to our customers it appears that it is easier to use the oars instead of using fins with these boats. James@coverbonanza.com

You can buy more expensive one with oars or buy separately. My son has used the boat in our pool for a month with no issues. He loves it.

I purchased Sun Dophin Oar Assembly, 6-Foot on Amazon. $69.00 & FREE Shipping. Set of oars allows the boat to be rowed from the rear or center seat. Set includes two oars and two oar horns. They work perfectly.

I'm not sure if this will work or not but I recommend that contact the Scotty folks and ask them if you can/Don

The OEM rod is magnesium. We use our RV quite a bit (7-8 months a year since we are retired) and the original rod was all but gone in a year. This rod is Aluminum and will do the same job as a mag one, but my experience is a aluminum rod will last for several seasons. You need to get a heater flush tool if you are in a area that the water has a lot of lime in it. Flush out the heater a couple times a season. I change out my electric heater element once a year. They build a lot of scale and it will flake off. Flush tool Camco 11691 Camco 11691 Water Heater Tank Rinser The OEM rod is magnesium.
