Like Wally Said. That is how I have always done it. The water pump must remain in the alpha drive as that is what cools it. I have seen others cut the hose in the gimbal and cap it on the inside but then you have no way of knowing if it is pumping.

OK,
Got the motor installed and running, now I have a problem.
The alpha transom nipple is too close to the drive coupler, and it rubs and wears a hole in any hose attached to it in a short time, causing a major water leak.
Somewhere I have seen a cap that will fit over the plug. If anyone knows the part # or where to find it, I would greatly appriecate it!
