OK, from the old days I thought it would be simple to purchase a couple of spring steel clamps in different sizes to hold my oars in my tin boat so they were out of the way.
I just hit every hardware store in town including those big box stores and I can only find them in 1.5" max diameter. My oars are just under 1.5" and just under 1.75" and are tapered. What i am looking at are spring steel clamps but they may not be strong enough.
I checked a couple of boating sites but I don't know what to call them and I am not finding them.
What would you call the type of clamps that are open and spring to hold and release the oars? I used some in the last boat I had to secure the oars and my gaff in the boat and I know they have to sell them in a boating store I just don't know what to call them.
No boat stores around here and I don't want to drive over 100 miles to get some either.
