I personally would go with the longer shaft and lift the engine up a hole.

I believe the cavitation plate should be level with, or just below, the bottom of the hull. I'm sure more knowledgeable people will be along soon!

I'm knowledgeable enough to know it's an anti ventilation plate but that's it
