Selden E40i electric self-tailing winch with integrated motor and aluminium drum. 3-speed operation delivers powerful, smooth line handling for halyards, sheets and control lines on cruising and performance sailboats.

Long Description

The Selden E40i Electric Self-Tailing 3-Speed Winch – Motor Integrated in Aluminium Drum combines a lightweight aluminium drum with a fully integrated electric motor for seamless performance and minimal installation impact. Designed for halyards, reef lines, outhaul and control lines, this winch simplifies sail handling and reduces physical effort for cruising and performance sailors alike.

With the motor built entirely inside the drum, the E40i requires only three thin cables through the deck or coachroof — no large cut-outs or exposed motors — preserving headroom below deck. The self-tailing function securely grips the line while the 3-speed control provides both high-speed line retrieval and fine-tuned trimming under load.

Powered via Selden’s SEL-Bus system and a power supply unit (sold separately), the E40i delivers reliable, efficient performance with a compact footprint. Its aluminium drum offers a balance of strength and weight savings, making it ideal for modern sailing yachts where performance and ergonomics matter.
