I'm not familiar with either of your components of the setup Thad, some pics might help. Generally speaking, you should be fine with the AV plate an inch above the keel. As long as the water pickup (for cooling) stays completely under (in) the water while underway, and the prop doesn't ventilate (blow out) I don't believe it will be a problem.

Good to see you back, haven't been around in a while. What have you been up to?
