When they are retracted the trailing edge of the tab is higher than the bottom of the boat and as said the leading edge is 1/4in higher than the bottom of the boat.

1/4 inch up should be enough, all you are trying to do is break the water coming off the transom (like the floats on seaplanes have those steps in them to allow the float to break from the water) they used to recommend that the tabs be mounted flush, good to see they recommend 1/4 inch up
