Attaching oar lock risers

Submitted by Bob TCI - Wed, 3/16/22 » 8:43 PM

Quick question. Chester Yawl I have thickened epoxied the oar lock risers to the gunnels, do I need to use any mechanical fasteners ? Will be using a a sliding seat.
i did spacered inwales but I used a longer spacer so the entire oar lock is supported

Thanks for any advice

While we're at it is there something better than a drill bit for the 11/16 oar lock hole?

I use Forstner bits with a piece of wood clamped underneath but I don't own a drill press so the angle didn't end up perfect. I just used epoxy thicked with silica and so far they've held up. I tie a line from the bottom of the oar lock to the inwale incase it ever goes overboard
