I think it's a raw water "valve" or something. I'm wondering if I open the handle will water rush in from all 3 lines? Can I just use one line and cap off the rest. I only want to use one for a wash down....I have a pump.

What do ya think??

Looks like that's the valve you open when the captain says dive!:D

its a raw water manifold. Replace the gate valve with a ball valve.
Also remove cross fitting and screw the barb directly into the valve, the less complexity you have below the water line the better.
