This podcast is the audio version of the Gear Garage Live Show, where we answer submitted questions and talk all things whitewater.
Topic: Oar Feathering
I have convertible oar rights, that when flipped to “feather/spinny mode”, seem to create so much friction against my tuned Cobra oar locks with each feathered oar stroke, that I no longer attempt oar feathering.
Do you have any creative ideas (other than widening the space between the oar lock horns) that could lessen the friction enough so that the oars spin freely enough to allow for easy feathering when the oar right is flipped to “feather/spinny mode"
