So I spent a year working on a fix for it. Note that this is a re-post with updated information. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10561172341046220675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-6329066150005802017-06-26T19:14:55.904-07:002017-06-26T19:14:55.904-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10561172341046220675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-5693327721899369512015-06-29T10:46:04.704-07:002015-06-29T10:46:04.704-07:00We are so glad to be rid of our Zoom.

We have a Caribe now with our new boat, but haven't tried out rowing it. We've pretty much only used the outboard. Hopefully, the oar locks will be a lot more robust on the Caribe.The Cynical Sailorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11047491682363507834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-60463700076251876802015-06-28T11:39:49.430-07:002015-06-28T11:39:49.430-07:00I have had exactly the same problems with my Zoom....I have had exactly the same problems with my Zoom. Both of the plastic tubes (plastic!! In an oar lock!) have broken. (I replaced them with copper pipe - won't break again!) And both my oar locks have broken as well, in exactly the manner you described. I replaced them and one of the new replacement oar locks broke on its second use. (Like Scott, I also am not an Olympic rower.) I'm now on the hunt for an aftermarket oar lock that is made of something other than plastic so it will actually work as intended. So far, no luck.Steve Waycottnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-48287563537925761202014-01-07T02:59:31.461-08:002014-01-07T02:59:31.461-08:00Sorry about your on-going dinghy troubles, but I g...Sorry about your on-going dinghy troubles, but I guess it is still an improvement over deflating, even if less useful than a turnip. Let me know if you sail into Gulf Harbour, and come for a coffee.

I've got a dinghy that came with our boat but it has that same inflation issue and I'm trying to decide if repair or replace is the better option. Hope Zodiac comes through with a more permanent fix for you.Mike Boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14279932231094933575noreply@blogger.com
