Dwight, I think what you are saying is that the deck intake doesn't match the outflow location down below, which is normal for dorades; that's how they separate the water from the air. You can get a surface-mount dorade from Nicro that will let you keep that configuration, but if you want to keep it low-profile with the solar vent you will need to move the deck hole to match the outflow hole. Or live with the holes not matching up...
