1.2 Product information
Seldén has manufactured the Furlex furling foresail system since 1983. Furlex quickly became the market leader, a
position it still occupies today due to further development of the self-furling foresail concept. Our current
production includes, in addition to the basic model Furlex S (controlled from the cockpit via a line), Furlex H
(hydraulic controls) and Furlex TD for below-deck installation, (Through Deck).
The latest addition to the Furlex-collection is Furlex E (Furlex Electric) and Furlex TDE (Through Deck Electric).
In addition to the success we have had in creating a powerful, reliable product for new boats, we are now proud to
offer owners of the older Furlex S-system, (from 1997), an easy upgrading to electrical operation. This also means
that a customer who buys a boat sometime in the future that is equipped with a manual Furlex (Furlex S) can later
easily upgrade it to electrical operation.
When we developed Furlex Electric we had the following criteria in focus:
Powerful It should be able to furl a sail in really hard wind conditions.
Simple construction Easy to install and perform service on
Compatible with Furlex S Should t on existing manual systems. (from 1997)
Reliable A minimum number of components in both the mechanical and electrical design.
Cost-effective A well thought out, high quality product at an acceptable price.
It has always been our intention to retain responsibility for our products through all stages of supply. Furlex Electric
is therefore only sold through local, authorised dealers who can satisfy all of our customers requirements. These can
assist with advice, installation help and service.
Furlex Electric is supplied as a basic kit for most boats. There are a number of accessories for adaptation of the
equipment, such as remote control, fuses, etc.
Furlex is developed and manufactured by Seldén Mast AB, the world’s leading manufacturer of masts and rigging
systems. Our range of products consists of self-furling systems for a large number of boats, from dinghies to 80
foot displacement boats.
We wish you ne sailing with your Furlex Electric.
Follow the instructions carefully during installation

1.3 Product description
The Furlex Electric drive unit consists of the motor unit together with the lower bearing assembly. The electric
motor is supplied with power and controlled via the control box. The main parts of the system are shown in g 1.2.
Motor unit
The motor unit contains an electric motor that drives a reduction gear via a belt. The reduction gear in turn drives
the lower bearing assembly, and thereby the sail extrusion, via one or two anges.
Technical data for the motor unit:
IP-class motor unit IP57. (Does not include water entry via the open end of the cable protection sleeve).
The rotational speed of the sail extrusion at different loads can be read from diagram 1.3.a-1.3.e.
Electric motor
The electric motor is a DC brush motor with permanent neodym-magnets. The direction of rotation is changed by
switching polarity with a relay in the control box.
The electric motor is located within the starboard cover lid. The stainless steel cover lid is sealed with gasket silicon.
The electric motor is protected from overheating by a protective current limitation function in the control box, the
function disconnects the power to show that the motor is overloaded. This function is described more completely
under “Control box” later on in chap. 1.3.
Technical data for the electric motors:
Current consumption at different loads can be seen in diagram 1.3.a-1.3.e.
Belt drive
The belt drive is within the port cover lid. It comprises toothed aluminium pulleys and a belt made from composite
material. The stainless steel cover lid is sealed with gasket silicon.
Data for belt drive:
Reduction gear
The reduction gear comprises a worm and a pinion. The end of the worm can be seen on the starboard side, it has a
1/2” socket to allow emergency furling. The worm is supported in the housing on two angular-contact bearings.
The pinion is made from bronze and is supported in the motor housing with roller bearings.
On delivery, the reduction gear is packed with ball bearing grease.
The worm and pinion are sealed with grease seals.
The reduction gear is self-locking. This means that the sail is prevented from unfurling, however hard the sheet
load is.
Refer to chap. 8 for service of the motor unit/reduction gear.

Data for reduction gear:
Torque, current consumption and rotational speed
The torque on the drive unit output shaft (extrusion), current consumption and rotational speed of the extrusion can
be seen for Furlex 200E, 300E and 400E in diagram 1.3.a-1.3.e. The loads of 60, 90 and respective 135 Nm
correspond to furling in very hard weather or when the sheet is insufciently slack. In “normal” conditions, the
drive unit works at 20 to 30% of its maximum capacity.
For cable dimensions, refer to table 4.9.c.

The current to the motor is limited electronically by the control box. The two potentiometers (R) and (B) on the
electronics board are set to the correct value for the motor in question at delivery and are sealed with yellow tape.
The blue pot. (B) controls the current value. The red pot. (R) determines how long this current is permitted before
the current is cut.
At 110 A 12 V (75 A 24 V) the current will be cut within 1 sec, independent of the values set on the two
potentiometers. Such high currents can occur if one does not slacken the sheet when furling.
When the IN or OUT button is released, the current protection is reset automatically after a few seconds. One can
now continue furling/unfurling, but has received a warning that the load is too high.
The current limitation also functions as a fuse if a short-circuit should occur between the control box and the motor.
Connection box
The connection box is the dividing point between the drive unit and the boat, it is intended for installation in the
anchor box. When removing the drive unit from the boat, disconnect the motor cables from the connection box
plinth.
Class IP65.
Wireless remote control (option)
Furlex Electric can be equipped with wireless remote control as an accessory. In addition to the remote hand unit,
an extra circuit board with control electronics is required (receiver board). This easily mounted in the control box.
The hand unit (transmitter) is equipped with a button panel for a total of four on/off functions (8 buttons).
Controlling a Furlex Electric occupies one of these functions (2 buttons). There are therefore an additional three
on/off functions remaining for other equipment onboard. E.g. electric or hydraulic furling mast, hydraulic boom
hauler, anchor winch, etc. For each of these additional functions, an additional circuit board will be required.
The hand unit is powered by one battery, type 4LR44.
Class IP65. (impervious to ushing and rain but not submersible).
For order no., see chap. 2.4.
The current limitation value (potentiometers) are set at delivery and shall not be adjusted.
Control box
The Furlex Electric is connected to and is controlled from the control box. The box is available in 12 V or 24 V
versions. Class IP65. The box is intended for installation under deck, not in the anchor box or equivalent.
It contains the following functions:
Connection points for the power cables
Connection plinths for the control cables
Polarity alternating relay
Current limiting function
Fuse for control current. Type: Glass tube fuse (Ø 5x20) 3.15 A
Connection plinth for remote control (Remote control can be purchased as an option)

3 Assembly preparations
3.1 Forestay attachment – Main rule
The main rule is that the forestay and all its connections shall be exibly jointed in all directions. In most
cases, a toggle shall be tted between the Furlex stay and the forestay attachment.
3.2. Connection to the deck
EF Existing Furlex-systems are equipped with a fork toggle as standard. This must be replaced by the stronger
toggle included in the kit.
If an extension link is used, this should also be replaced by a stronger type. See table 3.2.4.
These toggles and extension shall not be used since
they do not full the torsional requirements.
These toggles and extensions are designed for Furlex E
and full the torsional requirements.
Check that the boat’s forestay attachment is strong enough to take up the torsional forces from the Furlex-E.Since
there is no furling line to take up the torsional forces when, e.g. sailing with a reefed foresail, all of the torsional
forces will be taken up by the drive unit and be transferred via the toggle and any extension link to the boat’s
forestay attachment. See table 3.2.1 for minimum torsional strength.
The torque is transferred to the forestay attachment via the width of the toggle (B). If the forestay attachment is too
light weight, it can be locally deformed, Even if the attachment to the boat itself can handle the maximum stated
torque.

The strength can be theoretically calculated or found via practical tests.
If the chainplate is not sufciently strong, there are four threaded holes on the underside of the motor unit to which a
torque absorber can be tted. This must be individually adapted for the boat in question and is therefore not supplied
by Seldén.

The black collar  (g. 3.2.2.b) on the 300TD-model motor unit is chamfered
 to achieve an F-measurement of 20 mm, see table 3.2.2.a.

If the boat is tted with a bow anchor, it may be necessary to raise the drive unit to allow clearance for the anchor.
High-strength extension links are available as accessories, see table 3.2.4. The links have the same length (H) as the
corresponding links on Furlex S.
Fig. 3.2.2.b
If the lower drive unit is raised by using extension
links or similar. Then the Furlex-toggle, or
corresponding with the same function, shall be
mounted between the extension link and the
boat’s forestay attachment.
An extended toggle does not give the required flexibility. It must always be connected to the boat’s
forestay attachment via a toggle.
Make sure that the toggles’ split pins are
secure after installation, see fig. 3.2.3.b.
Fig. 3.2.3.a

Ensure that the torsional strength of the boat’s forestay attachment is sufficient and that the
correct toggle is used.

3.2.4 Dimensions and data for toggles (Toggles can be supplied by a Furlex dealer)
Make sure that the draining hole for the anchor box is sufciently large to prevent water being dammed up in the
box if the boat dives in high seas. This is especially important for Furlex TD Electric, since the motor unit is tted
further down in the anchor box. If the anchor box lls up with water, this could damage the motor unit.
On some boats, the anchor box cover has a hole for the chain shaped like a “letterbox”. This hole can allow large
amounts of water to enter if the boat dives in high seas.
Tip; Fasten a piece of foam to the cover. Make a hole for the chain. This reduces the water ow considerably.
Make sure that the anchor box is well drained and does not risk being filled with water.
