Product Details

One of our most popular raft frames, the NRS Bighorn I gives you room to mount a cooler or drybox either in front of or behind the rower.

We stock the Bighorn I in two lengths. 65" and 68" frames are an excellent fit for most 12' and 13' rafts.
The adjustable and adaptable NRS raft frame system lets you decide where you want to mount your cooler or dry box.
The Bighorn I Raft Frame Includes two 9' NRS straps and four strap slides for securing your cooler or dry box to the frame.
Hot-forged aluminum alloy LoPro™ Fittings are the heart of the NRS frame system and allow complete adjustability for all frame parts.
NRS 8" Oar Mounts are lighter, sleeker and stronger than ever with hot-forged aluminum alloy construction and a nylon insert to reduce rowing friction.
Create your rower's seat bar for the padded seat by U-bolting the Universal Seat Mount to one of the cross bars. This allows you to precisely set the location of the seat and the seat angle.
Use at least four NRS Tie-Down Straps to secure the frame to your boat.
Components: Side Rails, Universal Seat Mount, three Cross Bars, Foot Bar, Low-Back Seat, 8" Oar Mounts, two 9' NRS Tie-Down Straps, and four Strap Slides.
NRS frame systems are the easiest frame systems on the market to customize. Add accessories like Side Rail Racks, Casting Platforms, Thigh Bars and Anchor Systems for even more convenience, performance and fun.
Coolers and dry boxes sold separately.

Attach the Universal Seat Mount to the center of the cross bar.
Set the seat, foot, and cross bars in place and add the U-bolts, nuts and washers leaving them loose. Adjust the cross bars so that they fit against the cooler or dry box snugly. If any of the bars need to be repositioned, it may be necessary to remove the U-bolts to make adjustments.
Add seat, oar mounts, and straps.
Check to be sure that all of the U-bolts are tight. Periodically check the tightness of all nuts and bolts.
