Spare Oar Hook Tip – Ø25 mm Plastic Attachment

This spare 25 mm oar hook is a handy accessory that adds functionality to your oar. By attaching this plastic tip to the handle end of your oar, you turn it into an impromptu boat hook – extremely useful when maneuvering your boat. Made of sturdy, floatable plastic, the tip is specifically designed for oars with approximately 25 mm shaft diameter (a common size for small boats, kayaks, and collapsible oars).

Advantages and Uses:

• Easy Docking and Mooring: With a hook on the oar, you can use it to catch mooring buoys, cleats, or dock rings as you approach. This is especially valuable for one-person or small boats where you might not have room for a full-size boathook – your oar doubles as one.
• Retrieving Objects from Water: If you drop something overboard (e.g., a hat, bottle, or line), the hook on your oar helps you snag it without having to jump in or use a separate tool.
• Lightweight and Safe: The plastic construction is smooth and lightweight. There are no sharp metal edges – reducing the risk of damaging an inflatable boat or scratching a hull compared to traditional metal hooks. Also, if you accidentally drop the oar with the hook in the water, the plastic won’t sink immediately, giving you a chance to grab it.
• Installation: The hook attaches to the tip of the oar handle. Depending on your oar’s design, there are two common ways to secure it: via screw/clamp (some oars have a provision for fastening accessories) or via glue/friction fit – the tapered interior of the hook can be bonded with epoxy or pressed on tightly. The set (code 00739) usually includes a pre-drilled hole for a securing screw or pin if needed.
• Compatibility: The Ø25 mm diameter is standard for many oars on small dinghies and inflatable tenders. Example: If you have a 160 cm take-apart aluminum oar with a 25 mm shaft, this hook will fit perfectly on its handle end. (For larger oars – e.g., Ø30 mm – other size tips are available.)
• Recommended Use: Keep one of these spare hooks in your boat – it takes up very little space but can be a real help in critical moments, preventing collisions or catching that out-of-reach line. It’s very useful for fishermen (to pull in nets or catch, or to reach into shallow areas) and kayakers/campers who land in tricky spots.

With this attachment, your oar becomes a multi-purpose tool, which is especially valuable on a small boat where space and gear are limited. You get a quality product at an affordable price that extends your capabilities on the water.
