Once he's neutered, he may mark less - but not necessarily.
Just stick with it. Make sure you're feeding on an exact schedule and try to monitor water intake.
After I walk Lucy, she usually takes a good long drink (sometimes I bring water with me.) Anyway, I note the time that she drinks a whole lot. That water's going to have to come out - so knowing when it went in really helps.
If you don't want your pup to use a pad, I think you have to take it up. Then go back to crate training.
I had a male pup for a little while and found that the marking makes training a little more difficult. I would purely crate train until he gets the idea of going outside.
Good luck.
