New to me 2300 SR. I've only owned smaller 18' boats before that didn't have pumps or any kind of features like that.
Wondering what this garden hose connection could have been for? It's a female end which makes me think it's for water going out of the boat? But the hose is just dangling by the battery not connected to anything.
Also wondering what these pumps could have been for. The one is no longer connected to anything. My guess is it was for the shower in the back.
The other is connected to a sea water pick up and has a female hose end. It's labeled "live well pump". Would someone maybe have been filling an ice chest with it, using that for a live well?
This work was done by a previous owner so not easy to answer however since it’s labeled live well you are most likely correct that he used the cooler as one.
That looks like that collapsed white hose is connected to a through hull with no seacock. It also looks like they are using only a single hose clamp. That collapsed hose doesn't look like it belongs connected to a through hull.
I would fix that immediately.
You'll need to have the boat hauled to remove the hose. Install a seacock on the fitting. Replace the hose with a hose designed for raw water use. OR, if you're not going to use it, then cap the through hull.

Luckily the boat is trailered so I can address it easily. But I see what you mean. I think Ideally I would like to repurpose the thru hull to be used for the shower head in the back. I will make sure to retrofit it back to marine standards!
What could these water connections have been for?
