Pitching Jig Basics

 

Set pitch on sleeve to '0' degrees

 

 

  1. Place oar face down on a jig or a block of wood as per diagram below. Place a level in the centre of the sleeve, (image right).
     

  2. If the level on the sleeve is less than 1/2 degree out it needs to be scraped to 0 degrees. If sleeve is too far out it may need to be removed and/or if too worn it may need to be replaced.
