Furlex Electric

On-deck or through-deck. The choice is yours Furlex Electric is available for either on-deck or through-deck installations. The main advantage of a through-deck installation is better sailing performance as a result of maximised luff length. More space on the foredeck is an added bonus! Furlex has been making life on board easier for decades. In fact, Furlex is the best-selling headsail furler in the world. Once you have experienced using a Furlex you will not want anything else up front. And now there is a
new Furlex that will make life on board even easier. Lean back and enjoy Furlex Electric. All the power you need The new Furlex Electric is available as a complete kit or as an upgrade kit for an existing Furlex 200S or 300S series. The push-button performance of a Furlex Electric makes pulling on the furling line a thing of the past. Reliable action Furlex Electric is designed around a highly efficient 12V or 24V electric motor. Power is transmitted to a self-locking worm gear to rotate the luff extrusion at a max torque of 60Nm (200E) and 90Nm (300E) respectively.
These high torque levels mean that you can always rely
on being able to furl your foresail ? even when the wind and sea are doing their worst. The motor uses only 30 amps at normal load and it takes 25-30 seconds to furl a genoa.
Once the required sail area is set, the worm drive provides a mechanical lock.In order to prevent accidental overloading, the system comes with a built-in circuit breaker. If you attempt to reef the sail without first releasing the sheet, the power is
immediately switched off. This safety feature is automa-tically re-set a few seconds after the control switch is released. In the event of power failure, the sail is simple
to reef manually. An emergency line-driver system is
included as standard and can be used for both on-deck
and through-deck installations. An emergency handle
with ½" socket is available as an option.Like all other Furlex models, Furlex Electric is equipped with Seldén?s unique load distributor in the halyard swivel
for low friction. Low friction means low power consump-tion and long service life.
