Hello, does anyone know of a source for nylon oar locks that are 1/2" ID x 3/4" OD. I can only find 5/8" OD

Ayuh,...... I've always used oars that fit the oarlocks, without bushings,.....

Maybe find a piece of plastic tubing that fits tightly in the oarlocks, 'n ream it out to fit the pin-end,....

Solved; i took a 1" dia delron rod and ran it through the lathe for that perfect fit
