-Make sure the system is switched o before performing any installation or service.

-Never modify the electric system of your Furlex or its installation drawings - installation, alterations and

maintenance should be performed by a competent marine electrical technician.

-Never alter or modify the rated current amperage of overcurrent protective devices.

-Never leave the craft unattended with the Furlex Electric energized.

Choosing the correct version of Furlex Electric for your boat:

The key to a safe and properly working installation is correct dimensioning in relation to the boat size the

products shall be used on. Seldén provides dimensioning guidelines in catalogues, leaets and on the

website. If there are any questions about selecting the right product, please consult an authorized Seldén

dealer. All dealers are listed at www.seldenmast.com and divided in categories describing their competence.

2 Furlex Electric

Furlex Electric is available as a complete kit for both on-deck and through-deck installation.

The electric system is also available as an upgrade of an existing Furlex by replacing the furling line,

drum and line guard assembly with the Furlex Electric Motor unit and related parts in the Furlex

Electric Retrot pack.

Low power consumption

High eciency throughout the electric power and control system. A “sleep mode” is activated to

save power when not in operation.

Powerful enough, but with precise torque limitation.

The electric motor has a computerised controller that monitors the current draw precisely. As soon

as it reaches a pre-set level it cuts out quickly enough to avoid damage to components. The torque

level is programmed into a memory chip so that each size of Furlex Electric has the correct setting.

Resistant to the marine environment

Furlex Electric has an outer cover made of an impact- and UV- resistant composite polymer.

The worm gear is enclosed in a corrosion resistant aluminum housing. The electric motor has its

own housing which is completely sealed and individually pressure tested before delivery.

Two speed operation

A double control button makes it possible to operate the

furler with great precision in the low speed mode.

By pushing both buttons at the same time, high

speed is activated.

Locks in both directions

The worm gear is self-locking (40:1) in both directions,

which means that the sail can be furled from either

the starboard, or the port side of the boat.

Emergency operation

The worm gear has a ½” socket that can be reached

from the starboard side. Seldén’s emergency line

driver is included in the delivery kit.

Compact size -minimised weight and dimensions.

The electric motor is compact, still giving enough power.

This is made possible by raising the voltage up to 42V.

Keeping weight and the dimensions in focus during the

design has resulted in a small unit.
