Mine are low because where they come thru the transom they go directly into the sea strainer for a clean connection.

Or does having them below prefill the strainers instead of the pump trying to fill them?

The pump still fills them. I thought they actually were mounted lower on the transom, but I was wrong. Here's a inside view.
