This oar holder clip is a handy accessory for inflatable boats, designed to secure your paddles safely and neatly. The set includes 2 clamp pieces made of impact-resistant plastic with a 316 stainless steel pin for reinforcement. This combination of materials provides both strength and slight flexibility – the clamp opens enough to accommodate a pole between 28 and 32 mm in diameter and then snaps shut to hold your oar or boat hook firmly in place.
Key features and usage:
- Simple installation on your boat: The holder is meant to be glued onto the PVC surface of your inflatable boat’s tube. With its patch base (~10.5 x 8 cm), it adheres strongly to the rubber fabric using the appropriate PVC adhesive. Once mounted, it forms a semi-circular clip into which the oar shaft can be pressed to “click” in.
- Secure grip: Thanks to the stainless pivot pin connecting the clamp’s two halves, the holder provides a secure clamping action without risk of rust. The joint is engineered with a bit of give, allowing the clip to flex just enough to accommodate slight diameter differences without breaking, yet snap back to tightly grip the item.
- Versatility: This holder isn’t just for oars – it can also secure telescopic boat hooks, canopy poles, fishing rod handles, or other tubular accessories you need to stow. The ~32 mm capacity covers most standard oar and pole sizes, making it a multi-purpose clamp for your boat.
- Organization and safety: When underway or in choppy waters, unsecured oars can slide around, posing a hazard to passengers and equipment. By locking the oars to the boat’s side, these clips keep the deck clear and prevent accidents or the loss of a paddle overboard.
- Equipment protection: In addition to keeping the oars from rolling, fastening them with an elastic PVC clip to the tube prevents their metal parts from rubbing directly on the inflatable’s surface. This reduces the chance of scratches or wear on both the boat and the oar.
These inflatable boat oar clips are especially valuable for long voyages, fishing trips, or when trailering your boat – your oars will remain neatly secured and out of the way. Installation is quick, and the low-profile design won’t interfere with rowing or boat deflation when not in use. By adding this accessory, you ensure a tidier, safer boat and prolong the lifespan of your paddles and inflatable.
