Section 3 - Screen Overview and Operation
4. Highlight the X and press enter to return to the main ECO instruction screen.
5. The ECO user‑selected data area will show instructions and show new target values on how to achieve optimization for the
best economy.

Minimize

Minimize is a feature that allows the user to continue with the ECO features while displaying addition information in the
user‑selected data area.
1. When minimize is selected, the ECO instructions will be removed and then display additional information in the
user‑selected data area. You can also select limited items from the scroller bar.
• Scroller bar selection is limited to: Expand, Fuel Management, Trip Log, Voltage, Navigation, Pressure, Temperature,
Tanks, and Generator.
NOTE: The items available on the scroller bar are dependant on information available from the gauge and vessel
personality.
• Items displayed in the scroller bar that are gray when ECO is active, are unavailable and cannot be selected.
2. When minimize is active, the system status field will display ECO.
3. To enlarge ECO mode, use the arrow buttons to highlight the ECO icon and press the enter button.
4. When ECO achieves optimization, the user‑selected data area text will change to OPTIMIZED.

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 what the trim and engine RPM values
are 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 where that optimum running speed and trim setting was. 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.
Default ECO Target Settings
Fuel economy stability
RPM stability
RPM window minimum
RPM window maximum
RPM target proximity
Trim target proximity
IMPORTANT: A manual trim calibration must be performed before the ECO screen can be used if a vessel personality was not
uploaded with a micro SD card. Using a default trim calibration will not allow the ECO screen to function properly.
