Ok, well it was up in the neck during the primary fementation, after racking however it is a little below the shoulders. What should I do to fix that? I could add water, but that will bring its gravity down right? Should I make a mix of new honey and water to add in too raise the level and keep the gravity at 1.017?

Actually you will still dilute the alcohol if you match your current SG. When I have to make up something to top off a still-fermenting mead with, I usually make it up with the same SG as my initial gravity reading. It brings the batch's SG up a bit but if the yeast were going to finish the job anyway, they will go through it and then you don't really have to do any math to figure out your new alcohol percent since it will be the same as your original, just backed up a step or two temporarily.
