Abstract: An improved oar horn assembly includes a socket constructed to be fixed to the side of a boat for rotatably mounting an oar horn. The oar horn includes a ring having a substantially ovular through-hole for receiving the oar. The ovular through-hole is constructed so that it contacts the oar at two points on substantially opposite sides of the oar to thereby support the oar within the oar horn. Since the oar is supported by contact on two opposite sides thereof, ratcheting is reduced. Further, due to the oval nature of the new oar horn design, an increased angle of attach to water may be obtained.

Abstract: A sign holder having a substantially transparent, flexible cover which is closely received in a base. The cover is removed from the base by flexing the cover to free the ends of the cover from pockets on the base. The sign is positioned between a mounting surface of the base and the cover. Air channels are provided in the base and the walls forming the pockets to prevent the formation of a vacuum when water enters the interface between the cover and the base, while inhibiting external access by vandals.
