To answer your question, mine is above the waterline.

To offer some unsolicited advice, I don't think you will gain anything from moving yours. Filling the hole is much more involved than just plugging it, you have to grind out some fiberglass and taper the patch. Leaving the thruhull and capping it off is the easiest way to abandon it so why not just leave everything as it is and save yourself the trouble and expense?
