There are 3 types of engines. Inboard engines, outboard engines and sterndrive engines.
Sterndrive engines are located in the hull near the stern, but have a small leg protruding through the stern for the propellor. There will be a rubber gasket sealing the outboard leg from the inside of the boat.

How many types of marine engines are there?
There are many different types of marine engines. However, they can be classified into three main categories. The first is the outboard engine, which sits outside on the hull of a marine vessel. The second is the inboard engine, which is enclosed inside the hull of the marine vessel. The third is the inboard/outboard motor, or the stern-drive engine, which is mounted inside the boat and has an additional unit that is attached to the transom.
Where is a vessel's transom located?
The transome is the back of the boat where the motor is mounted to.
What is the stern tube of a ship?
It is a tunnel-like opening at the vessel's stern, through which the propeller or tail shaft passes, in order to connect the propeller to the engine.
Where is a vessel's stern located?
The stern is the rear of a boat or ship.
What side is stern?
The stern is the aft or back end of a vessel.
What is the stern side?
The stern is the aft or back end of a vessel.
If a vessel is trimmed by stern is it deeper in the water aft?
Yes, a vessel trimmed by the stern has a greater draft aft. Trimming by the stern increases stability of the vessel, but increases the turning radius of that vessel. For a given hull shape (form or geometry) and block coefficient, trimming by the stern can have some profound effects on the behavior of the vessel as it comes about, particularly at speed.
Toward the stern?
Towards the stern or aft is towards the rear of the vessel.
Where is the astern on a vessel?
The stern is the back end. Astern is 'toward' the stern.
When facing the front of a boat where is the stern?
The stern is behind you at the read of the vessel.
Why is it important to lower the anchor from the bow of a vessel instead of the stern?
Avoids taking on water, capsizing or swamping the vessel
