The top of my exhaust trumpets are 4 inches below the top of the transom adapter. Never had a problem.

I'd say they're half way while idling in the no wake zone, and under water when beached.

The exhaust hose is down hill to the transom, probably about 4 inches of elevation drop from the logs and snails.
