No they can't detect you with sonar if you are surfaced, as previously mentioned.
There is a Stock sonar bug; some contacts can't be detected by you if they are moving at 5 kts or less. I'm pretty sure Ducimus tried to repair it in TMO.... if that is your problem.
There are other mods that correct this for Stock.
As RR mentioned your sonar heads are beneath the fw torpedo compartment and they do pick up contacts if your boat is surfaced, although they come in better if you are submerged.
If you read/browse through the fleet boat sonar manual at hnsa, you will see that there is a 3rd detector topside that rotates.

Ducimus tried to emulate the real world fleet boats' performance - with some 'liberties'.
Happy Hunting!
