browndog Juvenile at Sea Registered: 10/09/09 Posts: 184 Loc: Coast Range OR.	I got a set of sawyer's sitting in my garage that I hang on to because everybody say's I should carry a spare. Anybody ever break a cataract ? Any thought's on this. ? I'd give em away dirt cheap to someone in need depending on response. I am In oregon but up that way quite often. _________________________ Favorite quote "Don't ask me how I know this" (Stam 2010)

LoweDown Conquistador Registered: 08/07/06 Posts: 1783 Loc: Forks, WA	i have seen a couple broken cataracts but it's rare. the main idea behind having a spare in the boat is if you jam your oar into/behind a rock in fast moving water, it can catch, lever upward, spread your oar lock and pop out of the boat. having a spare at the ready allows you get through the rest of the rapid in one piece and chase down the oar you lost. in any case i still think 9'ers are too long for a raft, but that's just my opinion.

I use tethers on my boat and have yet to have to need them, but I still carry a spare. They are just a little insurance. just in case. -T _________________________ Fish donts gots no good metal to listens to. - Skwisgaar from Dethklok

Or broaching a log that spins you around popping out the oar but I wouldn't know nothing about any of that. _________________________ "Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them."
