Selden Top Bearing Assembly for Furlex F204

Selden Top Guard / Bearing for Furlex 204S/E/TD – Protective Guide Component

This top guard / bearing is an original Selden spare part engineered for the Furlex 204 series manual jib furling systems — specifically the 204S, 204E and 204TD variants. It fits at the upper end of the luff extrusion, forming a smooth, rounded opening that guides the forestay wire into the extrusion.

By properly centering the forestay wire in the extrusion, this component improves rotational alignment of the luff extrusion and helps prevent chafe or snagging of halyards (e.g., spinnaker halyards) on the top edges. It plays a small but essential role in maintaining consistent, low-friction furling performance and extending the life of internal components.

Key Features

• Genuine Selden spare part for Furlex 204S / 204E / 204TD furling systems

• Smooth, rounded top interface for the luff extrusion

• Centers the forestay wire to improve rotation and reduce wear

• Helps prevent halyard snags at the top of the extrusion

Application On Board
Install this top guard / bearing during maintenance or hardware replacement when the current top guard shows signs of wear or if the forestay wire is not tracking cleanly. Proper installation improves overall furling reliability on cruising and performance sailboats.
