[C320-list] Engine Anti-Siphon Issue?

[ART HARDEN]

On the older boats the anti siphon on is located in the engine compartment it is very close to the waterline in later models they relocated it and I have considered doing the same. With regard to the elevation consider they the bottom of the sink is above the waterline. Assume the waterline is 6 “ below the bottom of the sink and heck the elevation.

He sent me a picture pointing to a clear tube alongside the valve that indicates waterline and it is above the top of the valve.  Is this true?  I searched the forum site but found nothing about relocating, adjusting or changing the hose routing or valve location.  Is he missing something or incorrect?
