not sure what stain you mean, salt? paint problem? scum from water?
It's a chalky residue on the cav plate that looks like dried talc powder

White chalky residue
Give a bit of CLR on a rag a try looks like it might be washing around from the ally there not sure
Thanks guys , hit it with vinegar & it took it right off easy as !
Mate the cause of this white stuff is actually salt that builds up in your motor leg and form a salt crust between the leg and the motor. I usually take my oiling off and fill the motor well with a mixture of salt away and water and let it brain away thus attack the salty crust that has built up in the leg of the outboard.
