Oar Tether Not Necessary
June 11, 2012
Due to metal rings existing on both ends of the tether, you typically connect one ring between the oar lock and oar tower and the other ring to the oar. In my opinion, it would be preferable to attach the one end to a more substantial part of the frame. Also, the quick release mechanism on the oar tether results in some semi-sharp metal pieces that are unecessary. Some oar tethers have plastic fastex buckles (not sharp). Better yet, save your self some money...buy two metal rings (one for each oar) and attach them directly to your frame with cord.
Cons: Cost, Bad design, Low performance
