[QUOTE="Tbarnby, post: 476110, member: 26035"] Howdy all! I’ve been reading this forum for a bit, and have a question. I have a 1985 Lowe Big Jon 1648, and will be doing some river fishing in some of Missouri’s freestone streams. So, I took on the task of making a set of 9’ oars, and setting the boat up for that job. I’ve got 1/2” shaft Outcast oar locks, and bought the bushings for the sockets. However, the sockets appear to be 11/16” instead of the more typical 5/8”. So the bushings really do nothing except flop about. That’s not the best energy transfer, if you know what I mean. The built in sockets on the boat appear to be unused. Are there special socket bushings for these boats, or do I just need to change them to a more modern socket? Maybe just mill out some custom sockets? Thanks everyone! [/QUOTE]
