Electric sailboat jib furler Seldén
Furlex goes electric!
Two versions: original equipment and upgrade kit
Furling the sail at the touch of a button can rightly be considered the height of comfort and convenience.
Now, with the Furlex 200E and 300E, Seldén is offering the luxury of push-button sailing. The Furlex Electric is intended for boats with a forestay diameter of 6 - 10 mm, i.e. yachts of about 30 ft and over.
Owners with a manual Furlex 200S or 300S system can upgrade to electric power. The through-deck components for the cables, and the electric control box are all included in the upgrade kit.
Furlex Electric is built with a 12V or 24V electric motor. The motor uses only 30A at normal loadings. And since it takes only 30 seconds from pushing the button to fully reefed sail, power consumption is negligible.
In order to counteract overloading, the system comes with a built-in overload cut-out. The overload cut-out is automatically reactivated a few seconds after the In or Out buttons are released. In the event of a loss of power arising from a failure in other equipment, the sail can be reefed manually.
