Paddles and Oars

Paddles & Oars

Reliable propulsion for tenders, dinghies, inflatables, kayaks, canoes, and small boats. Whether you need a compact emergency paddle, a durable utility oar, or replacement oar locks and sockets, the right setup makes docking, rowing, and backup boat handling easier and safer.

Shop marine paddles, wooden and aluminum oars, oar locks, sockets, collars, and mounting hardware for dependable use on the water.

Why Choose the Right Paddle or Oar?

• Essential backup propulsion for small boats and tenders
• Useful for docking, beaching, and close-quarters handling
• Available in lightweight, compact, and heavy-duty styles
• Replacement oar locks and sockets help restore rowing function
• Ideal for inflatables, dinghies, tenders, canoes, kayaks, and utility boats

Paddles vs. Oars

Paddles are handheld and usually used without fixed mounts, making them a simple choice for kayaks, canoes, inflatables, and emergency use.

Oars are typically used in pairs with oar locks or sockets mounted to the boat, giving better leverage for rowing a dinghy, tender, or small utility boat.

What to Check Before Buying

Choose the correct length for your boat, confirm whether you need paddles or mounted oars, and make sure your oar locks, sockets, and collars match your existing hardware. For inflatables and tenders, also check the mounting style and shaft diameter before ordering.

Marine-grade paddles, oars, and oar lock hardware help keep your boat easier to control, safer to operate, and ready when you need backup propulsion.
