Rowing Shell Compatibility

XBoat Smart Oarlocks are compatible with 13mm diameter pins and most modern rigger construction. Please verify your pin diameter before placing your order.


C-Cup Clearance

☝

XBoat will fit in most C-Cup riggers! Details for how it fits are listed below.

Sculling

  • The Oarlock and XPod need 35 mm behind the pin to rotate freely in a C-Cup
  • The area with the least clearance is typically where the bottom of the XPod passes the cup

Sweeping

  • The Oarlock and XPod need 31.5 mm (1 1/4”) behind the pin to rotate freely in a C-Cup
  • The area with the least clearance is typically where the bottom of the XPod passes the cup
  • If the Oarlocks need to be lowered than the Angle Reference allows, the magnet can be mounted beneath the C-Cup (shown in image to the right)
