Our products are made by hand in the Pacific Northwest. We use quality materials and cutting-edge technologies to produce difficult to manufacture products. That said we want to provide some simple instructions to make using your Snubber products a breeze.

• Both sides of the clamp are identical and the nut will need to be seated.  
• The nut-bolt housing is designed to firmly hold the nut in place once it is set. 
• To set the nut we find it best to screw the nut onto the bolt first and then push and wiggle it firmly into the nut-bolt housing from the clamps exterior. 
• Once seated, unscrew the bolt from the nut and insert the bolt into the opposing side. 
• Insert the bolt through the loop on the lanyard and tighten the clamp around your oar’s rope wrap. 
• The clamp opening should face downward and be inline with your oar blade.
• There is no need to over tighten the bolt. Tighten the clamp so it is secured to your oar and not rotating around. 1/2 to 1 full turn more will be sufficient.

Best rowing practices recommend not to row with our clamp resting on the oar lock. It is best to keep the clamp off of the oar lock through your entire oar stroke. This will prevent unnecessary wear on the clamp and oar lock.

• Lanyard adjustment is easy with the cam-buckle. 
• It can be pulled tight for minimal lateral travel or it can be place further down the lanyard enabling the rower to cross their oars. 
• When shipping your oars through narrow waterways we recommend shipping your blades forward. The limited inward lateral travel the Oar Snubber provides encourages proper oar management.

 While we guarantee the quality of our materials and our workmanship there may be a little maintenance to perform.

• There will be thread tags remaining from stitching. These are not imperfections. These are a normal result of the industrial CNC sewing machines used to make Oar Snubber products. If you find them unsightly you may take a lighter and melt them flush. 
• If any ends of your tubular webbing begin to fray, we recommend using a lighter to melt and reseal them.
