Choose the appropriate length for your rowing setup using the available size options above.
Double-Wall Aluminum Shaft
At the center of the RMR Oar is a 1 7/8-inch double-wall hardened aluminum shaft. RMR designed the oar around a balance of strength and responsive handling for river use.
The upper portion of the shaft is reinforced to add some counterbalance while rowing, helping balance the feel of the complete oar through the stroke.
Rubber Handle Grip
A rubber handle grip gives your rowing hand a dedicated gripping surface and is designed to help reduce hand fatigue during longer days behind the oars.
Protective HDPE Wrap
Each RMR Oar is wrapped in colorful high-density polyethylene (HDPE), adding a protective outer layer while giving the oar its distinctive RMR look.
Multiple Lengths for Different Rowing Setups
The RMR Oar is offered in lengths from 8 feet through 10 feet. That range allows the same basic oar design to work across a variety of raft and frame configurations.

Which oar length should I choose?
Oar length depends on your raft and frame setup, including frame width, oar-tower placement and height, rowing position, and personal preference. If you're replacing an existing oar, matching its length is the most direct starting point.
Why is the upper shaft reinforced?
RMR says the reinforced upper shaft adds some counterbalance for a smoother feel through the rowing stroke.
What type of handle does the RMR Oar use?
It uses a rubber handle grip. RMR designed the grip to help reduce fatigue while rowing.
Is this the same thing as the RMR Crew Paddle?
No. The RMR Oar is intended for a rowing setup and includes an oar shaft, sleeve, and blade. The RMR Crew Paddle is a separate hand-held 60-inch paddle used by a paddler rather than mounted in a raft-frame rowing position.
Is this listing for one oar or a pair?
This product listing is for one complete RMR Oar. RMR also maintains a separate product listing for a pair of RMR Oars.
Can I use this as a spare oar?
Yes. A complete oar can be added as a spare or used to replace an existing oar, provided you choose a length appropriate for your rowing setup.
Does this listing include an oarlock or oar tower?
RMR's product listing identifies the shaft, sleeve, and blade as the included components. Oarlocks and oar towers are separate pieces of the rowing system and are not listed as included with this oar.
