An 8.5-inch RMR oar tower with a 12-degree offset and a cut-to-fit design for dialing in your rowing position. The RMR Angled Oar Tower is made from 1.5" Schedule 40 anodized T6063 aluminum and accepts most 5/8" oarlocks and pins.
12° Angled Oar Tower
RMR offsets the tower 12 degrees to help position the oarlock outward and make reaching the water easier from the rowing position.
Instead of a straight vertical tower, the angled design changes the relationship between the frame, oarlock, and oar at the rowing station.
Starts at 8.5 Inches Tall
The tower comes 8.5 inches tall, giving you material to work with when setting up the rowing position.
If the full tower is taller than you want, RMR specifically designed it to be cut down and customized to the rower's height and rowing style.
1.5" Schedule 40 Anodized Aluminum
RMR builds the tower from 1.5-inch Schedule 40 T6063 anodized aluminum, matching the aluminum-based construction used throughout RMR's frame system.
Fits Most 5/8" Oarlocks and Pins
The tower is designed to accept most oarlocks and pins using a 5/8-inch shank.
If you're combining components from different manufacturers, confirm the shank diameter and fit of your specific oarlock or pin before assembling the rowing system.
