The seacock should always be open when the engine is run, regardless if it is cold. It can be a good idea to close the seacock, when the boat will be left unattended. This is insurance against hose or clamp failure...

Why does my 1996 Sunfire heater deliver cold air on cold days?

Check your temperature gauge. If it shows the engine is running in the normal range then there could be a problem with the "air door" that controls how much air is brought in through the heater core. Or the core itself is plugged and needs to be flushed out. If the guage shows the engine is running cold , then you should have the thermostat replaced.
