Airhead Telescoping Paddle/Boat Hook

The stow-anywhere paddle for a center console, skiff or PWC. A twist unlocks the aluminum shaft and the paddle runs anywhere from 25.5 in (65 cm) to 72 in (183 cm), then collapses with a section of shaft hidden inside the blade so it fits under a seat or in a PWC locker. The handle end is a boat hook, so the same tool grabs a mooring pennant or a dropped line.

• Adjusts 25.5 in to 72 in with a twist lock, no pins or buttons
• Corrosion-resistant aluminum shaft for saltwater use
• High-impact molded blade in bright orange, usable as a hand-held signal panel
• Boat hook end for grabbing lines, rings and fenders
• Collapses short enough to stow under a seat or in a PWC compartment

Keep one aboard as the backup for a dead outboard and as the tool you reach for at the dock.
