Boat Hook & Oar Bracket Set (2 pcs) – Plastic Holder Ø28–32 mm

This set includes 2 pieces of brackets for oars/boat hooks, designed to hold tubular items with diameters from 28 to 32 mm securely in place. Essentially, these are universal holders that can be used for oars, boathooks, paddles, bimini top poles, and more. They are made from a combination of materials: a durable plastic forms the body of the bracket, and at the clamping area, a springy stainless steel insert is integrated. This combination provides excellent weather resistance while ensuring a strong yet slightly flexible grip.

Key features:

• Hybrid Material for Strength & Flex: The plastic body withstands UV exposure and impacts, while the internal 316 stainless element (spring or band) allows the opening to expand/contract slightly. This means when you insert a pole (oar or hook) into the bracket, the metal insert opens just enough and then presses against the pole, locking it securely in place.
• No Rattle, No Play: The design is precise – it covers the 28–32 mm range snugly, so once a pole is clipped in, it won’t wobble or rattle as the boat moves. This is crucial on powerboats and sailboats where vibrations and heeling could dislodge unsecured items.
• Easy Mounting – Screws or Bolts: Each bracket has a flat base with pre-drilled holes for fasteners. You can mount them on vertical or horizontal surfaces: on a pushpit/pulpit rail, inside the gunwale, or on the cabin/deck. It’s recommended to use stainless steel screws or bolts (not included) to maintain corrosion resistance. By installing the two holders at an appropriate distance apart, you create a secure two-point cradle for your oar or boathook.
• Ready Storage & Quick Access: With this system, your oars and boathooks have a designated spot – no more wondering where to lay them during transit. At the same time, when needed, they can be quickly retrieved with a firm pull – the plastic-steel clip flexes enough to release the pole in one motion.
• 2-Pack Set: The set with code 04684 includes two brackets, which is standard for supporting one pole at two points (e.g., an oar’s midsection and end). This provides evenly distributed support and stability.

Example use: Imagine you have a ~4 m RIB with a boat hook of ~30 mm diameter. Using these brackets, you can secure the boathook along the interior side of the boat – one bracket near the stern and the other towards the middle. This way, the hook lies parallel and won’t shift even in waves. Similarly, the brackets can hold the oars of an inflatable boat when you’re running an outboard and the oars aren’t needed – they stay tucked away with no risk of going overboard.

In short, this universal bracket set keeps your boat tidier and your gear more protected.
