I’m not Mark but the sonar from a 385ci unit’s transducer can work through the hull of some plastic boats such as the Ocean Kayak.

I’m not sure what all types of plastic a sonar signal will go through jimmy.  According to the Ocean Kayak web site, they are made out of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE).  You may just have to buy a sonar unit and test it inside the hull of your kayak to know for sure or find someone else with that hull material who has one mounted inside of it.

I think that you will still just have to try it to find out of it will work Paul.  I don’t have any way of knowing of it will work or not, nor does anyone else who has not tried it yet.
