FAQs
Does this set include mounting screws?
No, the package includes the rowlocks with plates but does not come with mounting hardware.
Are these suitable for saltwater use?
Yes, the galvanised finish is specifically designed to resist corrosion in marine environments.
What are the primary dimensions for mounting?
The plate features various measurements (A-K), with the largest dimension being 210 mm and the main pivot hole diameter being 16 mm.
Can I use these on a wooden boat?
Yes, these are compatible with wood, fiberglass, or metal gunwales provided you use the correct fasteners for the material.
How many rowlocks come in the box?

Troubleshooting
Stiff movement or squeaking
Clean the pivot mechanism to remove debris and apply a small amount of marine-grade waterproof lubricant.
Loose fit on the gunwale
Check that the mounting screws are tight. If the holes are stripped, use a backing plate or epoxy filler to create a new, solid mounting surface.
Surface rust appearing
While galvanised, heavy scratches can expose bare metal. Lightly sand the area and apply a touch-up of cold galvanising paint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires mounting the plates onto your boat's gunwale using appropriate marine-grade fasteners. Ensure the holes are pre-drilled to prevent wood splitting or fiberglass cracking. Compatibility should be verified by checking the base plate dimensions against your vessel's gunwale width. For maintenance, rinse the rowlocks with fresh water after use in saltwater environments to remove salt buildup. Periodically apply a thin layer of marine grease to the moving pivot point to ensure smooth rotation and prevent friction-related wear.
