The water should exit from an Alpha 1 stern drive through the exhaust ports located on the transom or through the propeller hub. This is part of the cooling system, where water is drawn in, circulates through the engine, and is then expelled to help cool the engine and facilitate exhaust. Proper water flow is essential for engine performance and to prevent overheating. If water is not exiting as expected, it may indicate a blockage or a problem with the cooling system.

The ship experiences the most pressure at its stern due to the increased hydrodynamic forces acting on that area as it moves through water. The stern is where the water flow converges after passing the hull, leading to higher velocities and resulting in greater pressure differences. Additionally, the stern's design often includes features like propellers and rudders, which further disturb the water flow and contribute to increased pressure. Thus, the combination of fluid dynamics and structural interactions results in the stern facing the highest pressure.
"Trim by stern" refers to a condition where the rear of a boat or vessel is lower in the water compared to the front, resulting in an angled position. This can occur due to factors such as weight distribution, fuel levels, or cargo placement. Proper trim is essential for optimal performance and fuel efficiency. A picture illustrating this would typically show a vessel with its bow elevated and stern submerged more deeply in the water.

The Water pump is located behind the front engine cover. It has a drive belt from crackshaft.Power steering pump belt also on water pump pully.
The blue and white alpha flag, also known as the "Alpha" flag, signals that a vessel is conducting diving operations. It indicates to other boats in the vicinity that divers are in the water and that they should keep a safe distance. The flag is typically flown at the stern of the boat to ensure visibility.
The water pick-up ports on a stern drive and outboard are both located on each side of the gearcase. Some models have plastic screens on the outside of the housing, while some are located inside, visible through the pick-up holes.

Alpha water softeners are manufactured by Alpha Water Systems Inc., a company based in British Columbia, Canada. They specialize in producing water softening systems for residential and commercial use.
a stern of water
This is not an extreemly difficult thing to do, but you will need some special tools. You have to remove the drive which is quite heavy. You should change the drive oil, water pump impeller, and lubricate the gimbal bearing while you are there. Also do a pressure test to check for leaking seals. I would suggest investing in a shop manual. As you have to remove the drive, I would suggest changing the shift cable and bellows and trim and limit senders, and the water hose also
no you should not drive with a blown headgasket, water is now in the oil and will ruin the bearings etc.
That's the stern. The keel is under water, and the starboard side is the right-hand side when you are facing forward on the water craft.
