How do you determine the correct placement of oarlocks in relation to the
rowing seat position?
Is there a formula or rule of thumb used to determine this distance?

here's what I copied down from Robt. M Steward's "Boatbuilding Manual" ...

7.5" vertical from top of seat to top of oarlock
11" horizontal from oarlock to back edge of seat
8"-9" max width of seat (so bum can get a good grip)
