Yuloh oar?

Looking for alternative propulsion, considered an electric motor but deciding to avoid having to deal with charging batteries and having one more thing to load and unload. My local lake is electric only so can't do gas and that would have same issues of transporting it etc. The couple times I've been out with zero wind gave me a chance to paddle with the rudder which worked better than the short paddle I had on board but a better option that's not so hard on things is needed.
I've thrown together a yuloh from some wood I had laying around, still need to mount an oar notch on the transom and wait for spring to try it out. If it works a way to fold it or make it two piece will be figured out.
Has anyone ever tried one on their daysailer before? I'd love to hear how effective it was compared to rudder paddling.
