Facnor FX+ furling systems come in six sizes—FX+0900, FX+1500, FX+2500, FX+4500, FX+7000 and FX+12000—and each one uses model-specific spare parts, so the correct replacement is determined by your exact FX+ model number. Match the part by both the item position on the furler and your model column, then order by MAURIPRO part number.

What is the Facnor FX+ furler and how are its spare parts organized?
The Facnor FX+ is a headsail furling and reefing system built around a foil extrusion that turns on a lower drum unit and an upper halyard swivel. Spare parts are cataloged by an item position number (the drum, the tack swivel, extrusion sections, screws, the sail feeder, halyard swivel, and torque tubes) and then by furler model. Because the same item position uses a different physical part on each model, you must confirm both the item and your FX+ model before ordering.
How do I find the right FX+ replacement part?
Start with your model number, which is stamped on the drum or listed on your original invoice. Then identify the item you need by its position on the furler—for example the drum assembly, the tack swivel, an extrusion section, or the halyard swivel at the top. Cross-reference that item against your model column to get the correct MAURIPRO part number and the Facnor manufacturer code. Ordering by the exact part number avoids fitment issues, since neighboring sizes are not interchangeable.
Which parts are most commonly replaced on an FX+ furler?
The parts sailors replace most often are the tack swivel and bearings, extrusion sections that have been damaged or corroded, the sail feeder where the luff enters the foil, extrusion connector screws, and the halyard swivel at the top. On the largest FX+12000 systems, torque tubes and heavy-duty tack and head fittings are the parts to watch. If you are rebuilding an older unit, replacing the bearing-bearing wear items together restores smooth furling.
How do I order the correct part with confidence?
Confirm your FX+ model, match the item position, and order by the listed MAURIPRO part number. If you are unsure which model you own or which item corresponds to the part you need, our rigging team can identify it from a photo of the drum and foot of the furler. That check takes a minute and prevents ordering a part sized for a neighboring model.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know which Facnor FX+ model I have?
The model designation (FX+0900 through FX+12000) is typically marked on the drum housing and appears on your original purchase paperwork. If it is worn off, measure the drum and foil and send us a photo so we can confirm.
Are FX+ spare parts interchangeable between models?
Generally no. The same item—such as an extrusion section, tack swivel, or halyard swivel—uses a different part on each model, so always match the part to your exact FX+ size.
What is the most common FX+ part to fail?
Tack and halyard swivel bearings and the sail feeder are the most frequent wear items, followed by extrusion sections and connector screws on units that have seen hard use.
Can I replace a single extrusion section instead of the whole foil?
Yes. Facnor foils are built from jointed extrusion sections, so a damaged section can usually be replaced individually as long as you order the correct one for your model.
What if my part number isn't listed for my model?
A dash in the model column means that item is not offered separately for that size, or the size does not use that component. Contact our team and we will identify the correct alternative.
