Flying boat/scratch build
I am building a flying boat from my own design. This is my first seaplane with the engine above the fuse on a pod. Should the incidence be set at 0 degrees for the wing and stab. Also, should the engine be 0 degrees or plus or minus a few degrees angle of attack?

If you have not an eleborate calculation on wing and tailplane incidence, to set both at 0 is probably a god starting point. With the engine on a pod more or less above the wing, a few degrees up or down thrust do probably not make much difference. I would start wit a 0 setting and adjust after testing.
