A side imaging or wide angle transducer probably won't work well in a wet well, but they don't work well for any in-hull application. The dual frequency transducers have a narrow and a wide cone angle. Even at a 60 degree cone angle, the transducer would have to be pretty far off the bottom of the yak to lose performance. The narrow cone would probably work in any conceivable kayak wet mount. Whatever return you would lose will be from the outer part of the cone. You should still get decent, if somewhat attenuated return.
