Facnor FXe 2500 Motorising Kit (Top Swivel NOT Included)
Electric Upgrade Kit for Existing FXe 2500 Furlers
The Facnor FXe 2500 Motorising Kit provides a simple and cost-effective way to upgrade an existing FX 2500 or compatible manual furling system to electric operation. Designed for sailing yachts between 9.5 and 12.5 metres and code sails up to 90 m², this 12V-only motorising kit delivers the same smooth and efficient furling performance as the complete FXe 2500 Standard Kit, while allowing you to retain your existing top furling swivel.
