Sleipner has responded that the wire in question is to reduce radio frequency interference and the motor will operate normally without it.
Just an FYI.

For me I find the furler is faster than the outhaul so I slack it a little first then run at the same time watching for too much tension in the sail

Re: Mainsail jammed when furling on A54
Good point. I find that at about 10 years of good use, the sails are too baggy to furl well in the mast. Time to restitch, or replace.
