Faria Chesapeake Black 2" Dual Depth & Temp Sounder w/Transom Mount Transducer

The Faria Chesapeake Black 2" Dual Depth & Temp Sounder with Transom Mount Transducer is a marine-grade depth and temperature instrument designed for serious recreational and professional boating operations. This dual-function sounder combines reliable depth sounding with water temperature monitoring in a compact 2-inch gauge format, delivering the instrumentation required for safe navigation in variable water conditions.

Featuring a depth range of 3–199 feet (1–61 meters), the Chesapeake sounder provides accurate bottom tracking with automatic gain control that adapts to varying water density and bottom composition. Depth readings display in both feet and meters, accommodating diverse operational preferences. The perimeter-lighted white dial with blue and white graphics ensures visibility in low-light conditions, while the polished stainless steel bezel and domed glass lens resist corrosion in saltwater and freshwater environments. Programmable keel offset, shallow-water alarm, and deep-water alarm functions enhance collision avoidance and operational awareness. Full backlighting enables maximum night-vision compatibility without compromising cockpit lighting discipline.

This instrument suite addresses the requirements of patrol vessels, fishing platforms, and leisure craft where reliable depth and temperature data directly impact operational safety and mission effectiveness. The included transom-mount transducer simplifies installation while maintaining signal integrity. Water temperature monitoring supports navigation through thermoclines and aids in identifying optimal fishing zones or understanding local current behavior—critical information for mission planning and real-time decision-making on the water.

Faria Beede Instruments designs gauge packages for marine environments where accuracy and durability are non-negotiable. The Chesapeake series balances analog simplicity with essential redundancy, offering operators a straightforward, maintainable alternative to complex digital systems while maintaining the precision required for navigation and situational awareness.
