Unstable Port Oar??
Posted: April 18th, 2014, 8:17 am
Many times when I square the port oar for the catch it will not be "seated" against the flat on the oar lock. I believe it tends to wash out vs dive. I've adjusted the pitch to get a better bite, which hasn't helped very much. The starboard side is always solid. I bought the boat used last year (Janousek, 1995 in excellent shape) and started to notice this when applying power to the water. I replaced the sleeves and oar locks, which had a lot of wear, and this didn't improve the problem!
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bob
