Changing ECO Targets

The software for ECO monitors the engine sensors and looks for the best fuel economy number while the vessel is in operation.
When the software recognizes an improvement in the fuel economy, VesselView records the trim and engine RPM values at
that time. This calculation happens whether the ECO screen is visible or not. When the software has recorded the RPM and
trim values, it will guide the operator with arrows to that optimum running speed and trim setting. In most applications the ECO
screen does not need any calibration, although there are settings to customize the gauge for your boating style. The default
settings are within acceptable parameters for most vessel applications. The following are the default settings.
