LOOKOUT announced a revolutionary new fuel optimization feature for recreational powerboats. EcoCruise helps boaters understand the best target for where to run their throttle for the most fuel economy — a big cost saver as fuel prices climb higher and higher.
“Every boater feels the pain at the fuel dock right now,” said David Rose, CEO of LOOKOUT. “EcoCruise doesn’t ask them to give up performance or stay off plane. It just shows them the sweet spot — the speed at which their specific boat burns the least fuel per mile — and coaches them toward it in real time. For a typical 35-foot powerboat, that’s over $3,700 back in their pocket every season.”
Every planing hull has a narrow efficiency sweet spot where you burn the fewest gallons-per-mile. EcoCruise is a subtle behavioral cue that drives fuel-economy with real-time feedback displays. Vehicle eco-driving studies show an average of 6.6% improvement in fuel economy as a result of real-time feedback displays, and EcoCruise is a game changer in the marine industry. It is available as a new standard feature in LOOKOUT and will be delivered as a free over-the-air update for all customers. For more information, visit getalookout.com.
