You will be fine with a 10*9" section.

whats the measurement from the base of the skimmer to the bottom of the output hole.

Hmm, are you asking me how high the output hole is above the base or are you asking me the largest footprint measurement is so from the output to the other side? It will literally sit on a 9x7.5" cutout. The 9" is the largest dimension.
