  • All oar handles should be cleaned with cleaner & rags.
  • Email a picture of any boat maintenance needs along with an explanation to maintenance@indyrowing.org
  • If you use the ergs, please clean them with the cleaner and rags. If you see an erg thatyou did not use that looks dirty go ahead & clean that one too! Leave erg handlesreleased.
