Upgrade your manual Furlex Push-button performance is an easy upgrade for anyone who already has a manual Furlex 200S, 300S or 400S series (production year 1997-2015) or the current models 204S, 304S or 404S on their yacht. The furling line, drum and line guard assembly are simply replaced with a Furlex Electric motor unit. No sail conversion is required as the luff length of your existing sail is unaffected.
You will also need the appropriate Control Pack, which you can select below, and if you haven't already installed a Selden Power Supply on your boat you will also need to choose one of these on Power Supply Unit Start Packs.
For further information please see the Selden Electric Furling Data Sheet.
Please select the forestay diameter you require and the type of Control Pack required.

If you own a yacht equipped with the Furlex 200S, you already benefit from Seldén’s trusted manual furling system. But what if you could furl your headsail with just the touch of a button? The Furlex 200E upgrade makes that possible—bringing electric convenience to boats up to 9 tonnes displacement without changing your sail or forestay configuration.
Whether you're sailing solo, cruising long distances, or simply want to reduce physical strain, upgrading to the 200E offers a seamless transition to modern sail handling.
Upgrading from the Furlex 200S to 200E is a straightforward retrofit. You don’t need to replace your sail or foil extrusion—the existing forestay and sail setup remain unchanged. The upgrade focuses on replacing the manual furling components with electric ones:
This modular approach means minimal disruption and no need for sail recutting or deck modifications.
