My little boat was built in 2007 so it doesn't fall under the new ECO ? But then it has a new motor built in 2019 and purchased in 2020, that does have a working ECO.
I do use it when the weather turns bad and the wind comes up while I'm running for cover of the marina. Otherwise I'm either anchored, drifting, or slow trolling at much less than 5 mph.
As far as wake goes, depending on where I trim my motor, I can go from barely a ripple with the motor all the way down at 3 mph, to just about throwing a rooster tail with the motor trimmed up with prop just barely in the water, throttle at about 80% and still only traveling about 5 mph.
