The Kickboat Oar Shaft is the perfect choice for small craft propulsion. Famous Cataract filament-wound fiberglass and carbon fiber quality in a two-piece design for compact transport. The KBO is a favorite of fishermen using pontoon boats and other personal watercraft.
- Shaft lengths are listed as the final length, which will include the approximately 19 1/2" long blade you choose (sold separately). For a list of ACTUAL shaft lengths, please look in the Specs section.
- These shafts have an innovative feature. The end of the handle is notched. Placing your thumb in the notch lets you know the orientation of the blade without taking your eyes off the path ahead.
- Uses the same filament-wound carbon-fiber and fiberglass composite lay-up as the larger diameter Cataract shafts.
- Includes 14" long rope wrap section for quiet rowing.
- The included rubber stopper lets you easily position the shaft in the oarlock for the preferred stroke angle.
- The shaft flexes like wood, but is much lighter, much stronger, and is very low maintenance.
- The release button on the two-piece shaft fits flush for a smooth, no-snag surface.
- Rubber-cushioned grip for comfortable rowing control.
- The shaft accepts the Mini Cutthroat and Mini Magnum blades. These blades float.
- The KBO is not a replacement for the larger oars (SGG, SGX, X-Wound). With its smaller shaft and blade, this oar is perfect for small boats and milder water, especially if portability and compact size is important to you.

Shipping Times and Signatures
We prioritize getting your gear to you promptly and understand that timing is critical for outdoor adventures. While we work closely with shipping carriers, certain factors are outside our control. Delivery times are not guaranteed. Signatures are required for Kayak Shipments.
Kayak Shipping
Outdoor New England ships kayak's to local ABF Freight Terminals to save time, reduce costs, and minimize the risk of damage. We will find the ABF Terminal closest to your location for pick up. If you prefer home delivery, we can arrange it for an additional fee.
In some cases, especially for remote locations, ONE may request additional fees to cover the true shipping cost. We’ll notify you in advance and work to find the most efficient, affordable solution. Occasionally, we may also suggest delivery to a nearby freight terminal for pick-up.
You may pick up kayaks directly at our Franklin, New Hampshire Location. Please contact Customer Service to arrange pickup. If you need to change your shipping method after placing your order, email us at info@outdoornewengland.com, and we’ll do our best to assist.
*Important Note for Kayak Orders:*
Upon kayak delivery, inspect the boat thoroughly before signing the delivery receipt. This is critical, as signing confirms the condition, and we cannot file damage claims afterward. If you notice any damage, do not sign and contact us immediately.
