After that block is full of antifreeze wich also protects against corrosion. Put main pipe back to the thermostat hose.

Done this many boats/inboards many years and our winters are cold!! -30 celsius degree, allways work !!
This is a closed cooled motor. The block always has antfreeze in it, just like a car. No block draining needed
