jomerc, another method I've used to check the engine height is to check the level of the water as it passes the anticavitation plate while you're on plane. The level of the water should be at about between the middle of the anticavitation plate to the top of the cavitation plate. If the top of the anticavitation plate is more than 1/4 to 1/2 inch below the level of the water, you'll probably want to consider raising the engine. Check the distance between your mounting holes before you change the height of your engine. If the distance of the holes is greater than the distance between the top of the anticavitation plate to the level of the water passing over it, leave it as is.
