ABSTRACT:
An improved oar horn assembly includes a socket constructed to be fixed to the side of a boat for rotatably mounting an oar horn. The oar horn includes a ring having a substantially ovular through-hole for receiving the oar. The ovular through-hole is constructed so that it contacts the oar at two points on substantially opposite sides of the oar to thereby support the oar within the oar horn. Since the oar is supported by contact on two opposite sides thereof, ratcheting is reduced. Further, due to the oval nature of the new oar horn design, an increased angle of attach to water may be obtained.
