I always have a telescopic paddle in the boat. Wally world has them. Mine has a grab section on the blade to apply equally a achieve handle/pole

A paddle won't assistance so much for a long distance but helps around a dock or putting the boat on the trailer if you have lost power.

Arizona canoeing guide doesn't say anything virtually a paddle or oar.

Exactly, just why are some people adamant that you lot need one?

I always have a telescopic paddle in the boat. Wally world has them. Mine has a grab section on the blade to use every bit a reach handle/pole

maybe thats why. to reach out to human over board. That sounds skillful.

I have always had one in my boats and they have always been useful.

Work great for an extended hand
push off a dock if needed
work neat for narrow canyons at powell
reach out to grab that lost hat or life jacket that fell out,etc

Considering dorsum in the '60s, '70s & early '80s information technology was required!

The Colorado river system is considered an intercostal water way by the U.s.a. Coast Baby-sit (fifty-fifty tho water doesnt reach tbe kcean anymore) and boats must abid by the rules required past them. An oar is theoretically required because of this...I say theoretically because this is non an enforced law just information technology is required. On other Az lakes and CA lakes it is non required

Hugh Jascaulk

No affair the water way, an oar is non a required slice of rubber equipment. The USCG has fabricated some recommendations for having an alternate means of propulsion ie and oar, but nowhere is it required.

I ran out of gas in Parker one night and the paddle came out pretty damn quick. My buddy ripped the cooler lid off and used information technology. Paddled like Mo Fo's to get to the side or the river before we missed the side by side campground and had a really, actually long night. Our women were laughing their asses off though!

An oar used to be a required prophylactic item in Arizona. My father once received a ticket for it (70's) at Saguaro lake and went to court. Being an engineer, he brought a ski with him. The judge laughed and ticket was dismissed. I think it was the first time someone brought a ski to court.

A ski is an oar, at least in the eyes of a estimate or an engineer.

RiverDave

I am gonna get against the grains here and say information technology is required.. If it isn't for some reason... All the cops sure think it is so yous meliorate take information technology.

Also can be establish some stats nearly boating related decease.

In 2006 at that place were 4,967 boating accidents

3,474 of the boaters required medical attention across first assistance

710 recreational boaters died

476 of the 710 boaters drowned,so a life jacket could have saved some lives.

I like paddles:

bobbytheboozer

Trust me, you need one. A footling over a month ago my friends bought a magic that "h2o fix" for this season. They twenty-four hours they got it we dropped in parker to run it and not even running it for 5 minutes the impeller was toast and we had to paddle information technology dorsum on the trailer. The adjacent mean solar day we launched at havasu springs and got about x-15 miles up the lake and pulled into a cove to have some beers. He went to fire the gunkhole up and nothing happened. The fuel pump took a shit. I had to paddle my ass off to keep it off the rocks till we waved down a family in an Essex to tow us dorsum

Good grief, all the canoeing cognition the RDP coiffure possesses and no i knows the reason you take to continue an oar on board is so yous never get caught, "Up Shit Creek without a paddle....." C,mon guys, pay attention.:skull

LomitaBob

mine came in handy to go along my bot off the rocks next to the queen mary when the motor blew

stephenkatsea

Seems strange, no requirement for an ballast . . . . .

Good grief, all the canoeing knowledge the RDP coiffure possesses and no one knows the reason you lot have to go along an oar on lath is and so you never get defenseless, "Upwardly Shit Creek without a paddle....." C,mon guys, pay attention.:skull

Actually, annihilation larger than a kayak or a canoe, oars are useless if there's a slightest of current or wind. Rope & anchor is your friend stopping the gunkhole from hitting rocks closer to shore, until a passerby boat comes to the rescue.In the by, oars were meant to be signal devices, in instance of breakdown or emergency.
I recollect checking with local h2o patrols for guidelines is a good idea since some of the water popo aren't flexible when information technology comes to on board safety equipment.
Not having a working [ waterproof ! ] flashlight is a $200 fine in my locals, daylight or not.
And yep, it's strange that anchor isn't listed in the CG guide, go figure.

Really, anything larger than a kayak or a canoe, oars are useless if there's a slightest of current or wind. Rope & anchor is your friend stopping the boat from hitting rocks closer to shore, until a passerby gunkhole comes to the rescue.In the past, oars were meant to be signal devices, in case of breakup or emergency.
I think checking with local water patrols for guidelines is a good idea since some of the water popo aren't flexible when it comes to on board prophylactic equipment.

I've been fishing shallow h2o bays in TX and along the Gulf Coast for many years and always have a paddle on board. From xiv' flat bottoms to 24' bay boats they come in handy when you inevitably become into shallows. Many different bottom surfaces from hard sand and shell to heavy mucky mud. A paddle tin make all the difference of getting the boat back into h2o deep enough to let the motor downward.

Anchor and rope, or present a power pole, will continue you steady in current, but a paddle can get yous dorsum into deeper water in a variety of situations. I'k non intending to paddle miles or fifty-fifty yards, generally just a few feet to where I can get a motor to have over.

Fifty-fifty with current of air a paddle can be used as a push pole or even used to lever the boat off an oyster or sand bar. I've used a paddle on besides many occasion non to know how handy they can exist. Any gunkhole I've owned has had one on lath and ever will........Shit Creek ain't no place to end up without one.:skull

A paddle won't aid so much for a long distance but helps around a dock or putting the boat on the trailer if you have lost ability.

I had an oar in my boat when I was towed to a ramp. The oar was pointless. I found that tying a rope to the bow middle and swimming the boat to the trailer was a much better method. I threw the oar in the trash tin on the way out of the marina.

Back in the mid 70s I was given a safety check at Rainbow Bridge Marina and did not have a paddle. I argued with the agency guy (don't retrieve which) that my ski did double duty as a paddle. Did not get a ticket, but I have carried a paddle since on every gunkhole I have endemic. Took a await at Calif, Az, Utah and Declension Baby-sit regulations and none of them require information technology now. I know that ane matter many folk may not accept is a Type Four throwable. I always idea a life jacket was OK, merely it is not.

Don't remember if it was posted, just here are the Declension Guard Regulations:

As stated previously the Colorado River is Coast Guard territory, including Lake Powell. Of course Powell is interesting in that you lot have Coast Guard, Arizona, Utah and Federal Park Service patrolling.

BoatCop

Paddle/Oars are not required by police force on vessels in Arizona or California, nor are they required past Federal Law. I don't know of any time that they WERE required.

I've been doing this since 1975 and have never seen where an oar or paddle was REQUIRED on a boat.

As a nice-to-accept detail, yep, you lot should probably take one. But equally for being cited for it, no way.

DISCLAIMER: This is for Federal and AZ and CA laws. SOME jurisdictions may require one, but I've worked in AZ, CA, NJ, NY, PA, DE, MD, Hullo and AK and have never seen where they are required.

Notation: In order to authorize and pass a Coast Guard Auxiliary Courtesy Marine Exam (voluntary) and get their Safety Sticker, yous need a paddle, along with other safety items, such as bilge pump or bailing bucket, kickoff aid kit, etc, but you won't go ticketed if you DON'T have one.
