Sealed engine hood?

I've never really thought about it until now but should my engine good be taped like it in the in picture? It's on a bob gen 2. Isn't there supposed to be breather tubes or some sort of opening there to let excess heat out? Thanks for the help

the breathers are not for heat they direct water intrusion down to the bottom of the hull so that you don't get a bunch of water in your carbs/engine. I made the mistake of cutting them as well and using frogskinz which do not work very well to keep the water out. You really need these breathers in the surf.

Two breather tubes in the pole is enough. I had a SN SJ with the hood glassed shut and run of those 2 breather tubes for years. Your good.
