Remove the hoses from the heater core and splice them together with a hose joiner.

Remove the hoses from the heater core and splice them together with a hose joiner.

I removed the hoses from the block and plugged them. My first year with the boat I never used the heater so I decided it wasn't worth the extra step of bowing it out every year when I winterized.

Been there done that. Lee tutor is correct a barbed hose connector will keep your water circulating. After market cores are readily available. With a small core like yours it would cost more than it's worth to repair.

Thanks guys disconnected and removed the core and plugged the lines. Hopefully now the boat can dry out better. So I got another issue though. Took the boat out to run today and seemed to not have the same amount of water which is good but was having engine troubles. Engine idles fine and runs in neutral fantastic but once I put her in gear and try to hit the throttle semi hard it will make a popping sound/backfire and choke out and die. I am thinking maybe I need to rebuild the carb but wanted to see what advice u guys had.

Yep, carb rebuild.

It is worth checking ign timing etc first though.
