As you already know, all the way down is too low and Whaler recommends mounting it 1 hole up.
This description for mounting height is fairly standard:

Moving the motor up is fairly simple and can be a one man job although another person is helpful.
I would move the engine up and put the bolt in the 3rd hole from the top which would be mounted 2 holes up.
Your RPM's need to fall between the manufacturer's specification for WOT operation.
What size prop do you have now?
Pitch x Diameter
