All the power you need
Furlex Electric is available as a complete kit or as an upgrade kit for an existing of the third generation (200S-400S) or the fourth generation (204S-404S). The push-button function of a Furlex Electric makes pulling on the furling line a thing of the past.
Reliable performance
Furlex Electric is designed around a highly efficient 42V electric motor. A DC/DC converter (PSU, Power Supply Unit) converts the boat's 12V or 24V to 42V which allows for thin cables to the motor unit, easy installation and a compact unit design. Power is transmitted to a self-locking worm gear to rotate the luff extrusion at a max torque of 60Nm (204E), 90Nm (304E) and 135Nm (404E). 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.

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 10-25 amps at normal load and it takes 25-30 seconds to furl a genoa. When sailing with a partly reefed genoa, the worm drive provides a mechanical lock. In order to prevent accidental overloading, the system comes with a built-in current limiter adapted to the type of Furlex, 204E, 304E and 404E. If you attempt to furl the sail without first releasing the sheet, the torque is immediately limited to a safe level. This safety feature is automatically re-set a few seconds after the control switch is released.
In the event of power failure, the sail is simple to furl 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.
On-deck or through-deck. The choice is yours
Furlex Electric is available for either ondeck or through-deck installations. The main advantage of a through-deck installation is better sailing performance as a result of a longer luff length. More space on the foredeck is an added bonus!
Two speed function
Press one button and you will run the sail, in or out, at low speed. To double the speed, press the other button simultaneously.
On the technical side
The 42V brushless motor connects to a gear box and a steel/bronze worm gear, transmitting the torque to the luff extrusion with a gear ratio of 122:1 (emergency furling 40:1).The motor and primary gear box are packed in oil in a hermetically sealed inner compartmentand all units are pressure tested during assembly. This makes for a compact design, a highly efficient transmission and a failsafe function. Nothing is left aside.
