| At full plane WOT this is where the water level is at the gearcase of my motor. Seems too low to me as the gearcase bolts are in the water at this height as well the cavitation plate is below the waterline. I still have one bolt hole left on the mount to raise the motor.

 With the plate mounted at the same level as the bottom of the boat, the waterline might be higher then where you have it marked. Is the plate (red line) at the same level as the bottom of your boat?

Tuna Man's got it. The only draw back sometimes is, depending on the hull of the boat, you may loose some trimming ability and may have blow outs in turns. It doesn't take much to try and see if you like it. If not, put it back. Make sure you use silicone to seal around the bolts.

I would leave it where it is.
I raised mine up like that, so that the cavitation plate was level with the bottom of the boat and when I would turn moderately it would cavitate/suck air and lose thrust. I ended up having to lower mine back down to the original location.
If it's just a couple inches , I'd leave it where it is....
