Aluminum Oars Any Good?
G’day guys, I’m wanting to get the tinnie out but im not looking on spending to much on oars, Aluminum ones are quite cheap i can pick some up for $50, but i was just wondering if there any good? anyone had good or bad experience with them? and would it just be worth forking out extra for wooden ones?
Aluminium will make o.k. paddles, but as oars won’t be as good as wood. Wood flexes and works differently, unless the aluminium oars have weight in the handles they will not near balance. Cheap wood oars aren’t balanced well either, and this is a significant fault. Unless you have used good oars you won’t know the difference, but it is very real.
Don’t like them myself, if money is the issue they will work over short distances, but thats all. Connections and seams tend to corrode over time and let you down with no warning right when you need them – those things clipped on inflatables are a good example of that…
