I don't think it'll run at the 12 1/2 the chart shows but you can't just take 5 feet off that either for a 7 1/2 foot deep run. I THINK it'll be half way between the 2 or real close so that'd put it running at around 10 feet deep

Adding the 5%, you will run 13-1/8 feet as opposed to 12.5 feet.

So, to get your depth up to the proper level, you need to have less line out. No more than 80 I would say will put you in the area you'd like to be.
