Rowing needs (4)
I believe the answer is:
oars
'rowing needs' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for oars that I've seen before include "Implements to propel a boat" , "Busy bodies usually stick them in, also used in rowing" , "Soar with propellors" , "Indirectly, they make waves" , "rows" .)
