I'd like to do the side exit and install it here, see old thread and pictures of boat below.

Corsa System together, its the latest generation, with the black 3 wire connector. see this link:

I'm also putting these mufflers inline:

So before I go cut holes in my hull. I'd like to ask guys with a experience a couple of questions:
I see lots of side exit exhausts, and at least in what I've seen, it's common for the exhaust tip to be close to the water line. What are the reasons for this? (besides having the exhaust "run" downhill after the diverter to drain water) As long as I can maintain a downhill run, is there a disadvantage to mounting the side exit tip a little higher on the hull? In the pic below, I'd like to mount the tips in roughly the location of the red circle.
What are some of the common pitfalls to avoid, that others have learned of experienced?
Suggestions for marking the location on the outside of the hull from the inside? Was thinking a laser pointer, any ideas?
