What single Latin word captures the idea of working together
cooperatively to row a boat. I am only interested in words that have a
positive connotation.

Dear ralatsdc-ga;

Thank you for allowing me to answer your interesting question. I have
examined quite a number of Latin words as applied to your needs and
have found these to be the most applicable:

The New Latin term ?synergia? (Greek: ?synergos?) means to ?work
together? or to work ?in unison?. This is the origin of the word
?synergy?.

Tutuzdad-ga,

Thanks for your effort in collecting an answer.

I would ask, however, that you notice that the word needs to relate to
rowing a boat, not just working together toward any aim, but working
together cooperatively to row a boat.

Can you provide a word like this?

Certainly...

In the last ling I provided specifically, there are Latin words
descriptive or indicative of the act of rowing in particular:

http://catholic.archives.nd.edu/cgi-bin/lookdown.pl?row

remex -migis m. [a rower]. 

remigatio -onis f. [rowing]. 

remigium -i n. [rowing]. Transf. [oars; crew]. 

remigo -are [to row]. 

This is confirmed by several other sources:
