Rowing Seat Tracks – Aluminium Rowing Slides for Smooth Seat Travel
Rowing seat tracks by Eurow: extruded aluminium rowing slides for smooth, low-friction seat travel. Best combined with our rowing seats and seat wheels.
Rowing Seat Tracks for Smooth, Precise Sliding
Our extruded aluminium rowing seat tracks – also called rowing slides or aluminium tracks – give the seat wheels a perfectly straight, quiet running surface. Good tracks help the seat glide effortlessly, improving rhythm and power transfer.
Eurow supplies both anodised and hard-anodised rowing slides. Hard-anodised tracks are more durable and ideal for racing shells and high-use club boats.
Anodised rowing slides
- Lightweight extruded aluminium
- Corrosion-resistant finish
- Smooth, quiet sliding
- Ideal for club and recreational boats
Hard-anodised rowing seat tracks
- Thicker, harder surface layer
- Maximum wear resistance
- Preferred in racing and intensive training
Maintenance
- Keep tracks and seat wheels clean; sand acts as abrasive.
- Never oil seat wheels.
- Check tracks for dents, burrs or deformation.
- Replace tracks and wheels together for best performance.

Anodized and hard anodized slides, tracks or rails for rowing boats
Slides are essential for an optimal rowing experience. They allow rowers to move smoothly on the rowing seat and adjust their position in the boat.
Plain anodized slides
- Plain anodized slides are made of aluminum and treated with a thin layer of aluminum oxide. This coating protects the aluminum from corrosion and wear.
- Plain anodized slides are relatively inexpensive and lightweight. They are a good choice for recreational rowers looking for an affordable and durable solution.
Hard-Anodized Slides.
- Hard-anodized slides are also made of aluminum, but are treated with a thicker layer of aluminum oxide. This layer makes the slides much harder and more durable than regular anodized slides.
- Hard anodized slides are a good choice for competitive rowers looking for the highest possible performance and durability.
Difference Between Plain Anodized and Hard Anodized Slides
The main differences between plain anodized and hard anodized slides are as follows
- Hardness: Hard anodized slides are much harder than regular anodized slides. This makes them more resistant to wear and damage.
- Durability: Hard anodized slides are much more durable than plain anodized slides. They last longer and require less maintenance.
- Price: Hard anodized slides are more expensive than regular anodized slides.
Which Slide is Right for You?
Plain anodized slides offer affordable durability for recreational rowers, while hard-anodized slides offer excellent performance for competitive rowers.
Maintenance Tips
- Clean slides regularly with mild soap and water.
- Lubricate ball bearing wheels with protective oil for smooth operation.
- Regularly check for wear to ensure timely maintenance.
