rowing oars
Manual boat propulsion
Rowing oars are the long-shafted implements used to propel a boat through water by pulling against the surface.
The phrase is somewhat redundant—oars are by definition for rowing—but appears in contexts distinguishing them from paddles or sculling oars: The boat came equipped with two rowing oars and life jackets.
