It's been a while since I've messed with my drive personally but I do recall that hose as being prone to crimping. If you tilt the drive up to trailer position, I think you can see it from below but it's been a while. Also, mine is a first generation Alpha, yours pre-dates it. I like the ideas mentioned of running the boat out of the water on muffs and seeing if you're getting water out of the exhaust. You can also check the temperature of the hoses that inject water into the exhaust elbows vs. the engine side hoses to get some idea if the raw water is flowing.
