Who uses oar rights for their pontoon boat oars?

I bought a pair cuz I didn't want to deal w/ trying to right my oars when I ready to row. These made sense since the Colorado XT does not come w/ these & have to buy them separately. But I feel it's a good investment. I really liked how on the Outcast Streamer XL pontoon boat, even though it had cheaper oar stands, the blades were always up right, ready for rowing.

I kept the original oar stoppers on top of the oar rights, that have built in oar stoppers. I figured this would be a little counter balance w/ the oars.

I have used them for years, probably even one of the first to use them. I don't keep the old ring however. Really no reason to.
On my new Navi, there is a clamp for the oars so no Oar rights needed as many pontoon boats have. I know BUCKS has the clamps.
Spend a little extra and buy a spare Horse Shoe (oar holder) cause they will spread over time.

Some boats come with an upside down BRASS Horse shoe oar holder.
You slide your oars through it and begin to row. This style of oar holders means your oar has a big rubber (hard plastic) donut to keep it from sliding all the way through.
Problem is, you grab your oars to start rowing and you now have to line up the blades.
With OAR RIGHTS, there is a plastic piece attached to the donut that slides between the HORSE SHOE. This puts the oars with the blades always right where you need them.

[cool][#0000ff]The idea is to keep the oars "right" so that you don't have to worry about the angle of the blade as you row.[/#0000ff]
