The valve in front of the engine with the red hose is a ball valve and it is an inlet that feeds water into the raw water pump that is used to cool the engine. This cooling water is eventually injected into your exhaust system at the exhaust elbow, to cool the exhaust gas as it runs through the boat to the exhaust outlet through a rubber hose that would otherwise get too hot. That ball valve is not original to the boat, there would have been some other type of valve there as ball valves were not common when your boat was built.
The two larger ones (black handle and red handle), connected to the larger black hoses are a type of valve called a gate valve and it is quite likely they no long work at all. My guess is that the large black hoses connect to cockpit drains in the cockpit floor. Ken H.
