Pair of 124 cm oars designed for inflatable and small boats, supplied by Bestway under the Hydro-Force range. Each oar features ABS blades and a compatible shaft length for recreational paddling, launching from shore, and short-distance maneuvering in calm waters. The lightweight, corrosion-resistant materials make this pair suitable for use on lakes, slow rivers and coastal areas where ease of handling and simple maintenance are priorities.
Advantages
These Bestway Hydro-Force oars combine ABS blades with a reinforced shaft for a balance of durability and low weight. The construction resists corrosion and requires minimal care after exposure to fresh or brackish water. At 124 cm total length, the oars are compact enough for storage on inflatable boats while providing sufficient leverage for casual rowing and steering.
Suitable for
- Recreational paddling on calm lakes and slow-moving rivers
- Launching and landing from shore with inflatable dinghies
- Short-distance maneuvers and steering when outboard motors are not used
- Seasonal or occasional boating where lightweight equipment is preferred
When it may not be suitable
These oars are intended for recreational use and light-duty tasks; they are not designed for heavy-duty rowing, whitewater, or long-distance open-sea voyages. For high-load situations or professional rowing use, longer oars with specialized materials and locking mechanisms would be more appropriate. Additionally, if you require adjustable-length oars or split-shaft models for storage, this fixed-length pair may not meet those needs.
Key specifications
- Total length: 124 cm
- Blade material: ABS plastic
- Construction: one-piece (fixed length) with integrated shaft
- Weight: lightweight design suitable for handheld use
- Corrosion resistance: materials suitable for fresh and brackish water exposure
How to use
Install the oars in the boat’s oarlocks or pivot points according to the craft’s instructions, ensuring the blade faces the correct orientation for forward stroke. Row using smooth, controlled strokes, keeping the shaft vertical during the power phase and feathering the blade on the recovery to reduce wind resistance. After use in salt or brackish water, rinse the oars with fresh water and dry before storage to prolong service life. Store the pair secured on the boat or in a dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
What to consider before purchase
- Check that 124 cm length fits your boat’s oarlock spacing and rowing position
- Ensure one-piece fixed-length oars are acceptable if you need compact storage options
- Confirm ABS blade construction meets your expectations for durability and impact resistance
- Consider whether you need adjustable or split-shaft oars for transport and storage
Usage recommendations
Use these Bestway Hydro-Force ABS 124 cm oars for occasional recreational rowing and shore maneuvers in calm conditions. Rinse with fresh water after exposure to salt and store them out of prolonged sunlight to maintain performance and appearance.
