Wake Touch still has their site and videos up promoting the systems, and more than one engineer from other OEMs has stated that they have evaluated the system, to see if it was viable in their boats. Maybe they liked it, but just decided it wasn’t worth the cost?!? Who knows.

Either way, I didn’t mean any offense. All the different manufacturers have their little features and gimmicks, and they all have their own set of advantages and disadvantages.

There is a patent on AutoWake by Supra see below....

The AutoWake patented technology is covered by U.S. Patent Nos. 8,798,825, 9,689,395, 9,828,075, 9,873,491 and other patents pending. See more at www.skierschoice.com/patents-trademarks/.

Wave Touch also states on their site you can purchase their IP and join in on their patents.

From Wave Touch...
If you're a manufacturer, we should talk.

The software and hardware are working. Patent claims have already issued and dozens more are pending. This Intellectual Property (IP) is ready for sale to a manufacturer who wants an immediate and sustainable market advantage. We're very experienced with technology development and transfer. We're ready to proceed as fast as you are. The next generation of helm technology is finally here, and you can OWN and CONTROL it. If you're in the boating industry, we should talk.

I'm assuming Supra bought the IP made the changes required and patented it.
