Reliable Depth Readings — No Hull Penetration Needed
The Faria Chesapeake White S/S Digital Depth Sounder (FAR 13850) gives you accurate depth readings to 199 feet (61 m), displayed simultaneously in feet, meters, and fathoms. The stainless steel transom-mount transducer bolts to the outside of the transom — making it the right choice for cored hulls, aluminum boats, and any application where drilling through the hull isn't an option.
The Chesapeake White face with stainless steel bezel is built for saltwater use and integrates cleanly into white or light-coloured dash panels. Backlit for clear visibility at night or in low light.

Parts Desk Insights
The transom-mount transducer is the best choice for foam-cored fibreglass hulls, aluminum boats, and multi-hull vessels where an in-hull transducer won't transmit reliably through the hull material. It's also a popular retrofit option when re-instrumenting an older boat without modifying the hull.
If your hull is solid fibreglass and you prefer a cleaner install with no external hardware, consider the in-hull version instead: FAR 13851 Chesapeake White S/S In-Hull.
Prefer a black face? The same transom-mount configuration is available in the Chesapeake Black series: FAR 13750 Chesapeake Black Transom Mount. For a more compact or budget-friendly option, see the Euro Black series: FAR 12850 Euro Black Transom Mount.
Pairs well with a Faria speed or fuel gauge to complete a matching Chesapeake White instrument cluster.
