What would be the best glue to repair the wooden blade of an oar? I was
going to use epoxy glue but is there another good or better alternative?
Thanks.

Depends upon how badly broken it is, but Gorilla Glue is also a good glue
for waterproof applications.

About the only thing more useless than Gorilla Glue are tits on a boar
hog.

To repair an oar you need 6 OZ glass tape and epoxy.

Epoxy will degrade from UV so you will probably need to repeat repair
every couple of years.

As I said, depends upon how badly broken it is. If it's a lengthwise break
in the blade (along the grain), I would not hesitate to repair it with
Gorilla Glue and dowels, properly clamped. Epoxy could also be used with
dowels. There's also Resorcinol, which is also waterproof.

Your opinion noted.
