Is there a drawing of how the cooling water flows from the lower end, through the pump, engine, exhaust and back out?

I have a thru hull exhaust. I am use to outboards with a tattle tail indicating everything is fine.

Re: 5.0L Merc Cooling system

Thanks found it in manual #24 page 6A-26. This shows all the water being discharged through the exhausts. Is this correct? I have through Hull exhaust and there just doesn't seem to be a lot of water flowing. Does anything exit out the lower end?

Engine temps are good and impeller and housing is 1 year and installed by professionals.
