On all previous boats they have had a 2" Faria depth display with configurable depth alarm.
My new boat (FourWinns) had this on the pictures, but when it arrived the 2" gauge is now just a dummy gauge.
They have depth built into the Medallion IS DigiGauge but it is only very small digital display, difficult to see when driving and no depth alarm.

FourWinns advise gauge removed as no longer a customer ask (seems absurd)
I can retrofit a gauge .....the difficult part ... the transducer fitted is a 2" Medallion transducer which is a digital output.

FourWinns suggest changing transducer to an Airmar P319 which would use the same 2" hole.

What I need is help to find a 2" depth display that will work with a P319 (or is there another transducer that will use same existing hole)

Any suggestions welcome

you should have kept this in your other thread for consistency.

however nearly every 2" depth gauge uses an Airmar transducer, and in each family of 2" gauges, there are multiple options. that will use multiple Airmar transducers

suggest you start by contacting the gauge companies. I know that VeeThree (sold as Sierra to the aftermarket) has them in various lines.

worst case, you pull out the existing 319 transducer and install a different thru-hull

Thanks - just to clarify it does not have a P319 fitted, it has a digital Medallion transducer (probably made by Airmar)

I had contacted Faria ... helpful, but they said they do not use any 2" transducers, all theirs are 1 5/8" I did try the ask if will it work with 2" transducers, and they then said go talk to a dealer.
MedallionIS said no ...... contacted Raymarine, Garmin, no response.
Hawkeye looks promising - still waiting on trnsducer confirmation.

If there are any other gauge companies please let me know ...... keen to get this resolved.
FourWinns & Medallion offer no way forward.. other than advice that the P319 would fit in the same size thru hull hole.
