1. A device for mounting a transducer to a boat, the device comprising:
a first mounting member having a body and a coupling portion extending outwardly from the body, the coupling portion being configured to be directly or indirectly releasably coupled to a portion of the boat;
a second mounting member movably coupled to the first mounting member, the second mounting member having a body having a coupling portion extending outwardly from the body;
a third mounting member movably coupled to the second mounting member and configured to be releasably secured to the transducer, the third mounting member being spring-biased towards the second mounting member;
a first coupling assembly rotatably coupling the coupling portion of the first mounting member to the coupling portion of the second mounting member such that, when the transducer is secured to the third mounting member the transducer is rotatable about a first axis between a first position where the transducer is operable in a first mode and a second position where the transducer is operable in a second mode; and
a second coupling assembly rotatably coupling the second mounting member to the third mounting member such that, when the transducer is secured to the third mounting member the transducer is rotatable about a second axis between the first position where the transducer is operable in the first mode and a third position where the transducer is operable in a third mode, the first axis being transverse to the second axis;
wherein, the second axis passes through the transducer when:
the transducer is secured to the device and the device is in the first position; and
the transducer is secured to the device and the device is in the third position.
