Euro Style. Any Hull. No Penetration Required.
The Faria Euro Black Digital Depth Sounder (FAR 12850) delivers accurate depth readings to 199 feet (61 m), displayed simultaneously in feet, meters, and fathoms. The transom-mount transducer bolts to the outside of the transom with a 25-foot cable — no drilling through the hull required — making it the most versatile and widely compatible option in the Euro Black depth sounder lineup.
The Euro Black series features a sleek all-black face and bezel — a clean, low-profile look that suits modern helm designs and European-style vessels where a monochromatic instrument cluster is preferred over stainless steel trim.

Parts Desk Insights
This is the go-to choice for foam-cored fibreglass hulls, aluminum boats, multi-hull vessels, and any retrofit install where hull penetration isn't an option. Because the transducer mounts externally on the transom, it works reliably across all common hull materials — making it the most universally compatible depth sounder in the Euro Black range.
It's also a popular retrofit option when upgrading an older boat's instruments: the external mount keeps the install clean and reversible with no permanent hull modifications.
If your hull is solid fibreglass and you prefer no external hardware, consider the in-hull version: FAR 12851 Euro Black In-Hull.
If you prefer a stainless steel bezel or need to match a Chesapeake-series cluster, see the Chesapeake Black transom-mount option: FAR 13750 Chesapeake Black Transom Mount or the white-face version: FAR 13850 Chesapeake White S/S Transom Mount.
