This may be a small matter to most of you but if you use a Walker Bay dighny you DO NOT want to loose an oarlock!! You will find you cannot replace one , or a pair, without spending a lot of money and getting the whole installation kit. I cannot find any other oarlock that will fit a walker bay!

Consider having your local store check the SeaDog wholesale catalog. SeaDog is in Everette WA. They are a very reliable supplier of many products - but they are wholesale so you have to inquire via your local retailer.
Anyway - last year I purchased three pair supplied by SeaDog and they fit Walker Bay just fine.
Be sure to measure the oar shaft opening accurately (be generous) and also double check the pin diameter too.

I should have persisted with checking eBay. When I looked there were non listed. Since I need my dighnyy I gave up and ordered them. WHY would they not have supplies of them wherever they sell the dighnys? Thanks for writing.
I have several pairs of ordinary metal oarlocks and non of them will fit into the Walker bay oarlock openings.
Not sure about the name "Scotty" type but guess they are the offset type as used by walker bay

No, most oarlocks (non that I have found) will fit into the walker bay oarlock opening.

Walker Bay made a few oarlock changes and so the newer boats use different ones than the older. Call Hooper's Yachts as they may have some in stock. www.hoopersyachts.com
