Duc:

Been looking at those handles, and it seems the weights are sealed in there under a wood plug that sits just below where the paddle connects. I don't want to tear these up to un-balance them.

Might be best I use them as-is for now, and if I don't like them I can always take them back to ClackaCraft and have them fix them up for me. I travel down there on business about once a month, and the 9' oars fit well enough in the Buick when the paddle/handle is separated.

Your testing for your PE? Is there a difference between a mechanical PE and a Electrical PE test?
