How to row a canoe for fishing or excercise, the cheap, fast row boat

Step 5 Attach the oarlock sockets

Now set the oarlock sockets upside down on the ends of the outriggers, you want them this way for proper clearance of the gate hinge pin on the oar shaft.
Drill through the holes in the oarlock socket into the outrigger end. REMEMBER!! You want enough meat around the outer bolt so it won't tear out. This should be at least the area of the washers being used plus a little.
Find a large drill bit that just fits into the now top of the oarlock socket and drill from the top down, through the outrigger, to allow the oarlock to extend down through.
