Does the Garmin unit that comes with the new 1801 give a readout for boat speed , and any engine diagnostics??
Yes .... what you said ... hahaOurs did: 2018 Parker 1801 : Garmin 5" touchscreen. Not a lot of real estate to mount electronics on the helm. Came w/ Yamaha square gauges as well with Fuel management, speed, tach, motor hours, RPM, MPH, battery V, etc... Is that what you are looking to find out?
You use the words "diagnostics" but that isn't the correct nomenclature as no boat manufacturer has "on board diagnostics": For that you'd hook the ECM up to a laptop w/ Yamaha software.
EDIT: After Re-reading your post, I think you are asking if the factory installed Garmin has Nema2K to the motor's ECM: the answer is no. You would use the Yamaha gauge for this info.
I had a 2018 Suzuki 200 that was connected to the Lowrance HDS 7 , that would show engine speed , rpm , oil temp , and many other engine read outs. Not sure how it was accomplished. Was done at the boat dealershipYes .... what you said ... haha
