those are the hydraulic trim pumps for the trim tabs and drives, the 9 pin plug in your hand is the engine electrical harness that plugged into the engine for your dash wiring . the oil reservoir is under the pump motor the square bottom.

The same pumps I used for my trim tabs (the 24 is an inboard). Just simple Mercruiser trim pumps. Easy and cheap. Should be a flat blade screw in the corner of the square lower half to fill with motor oil or transmission fluid depending on what they used.

Really hard to get a picture of the engine room being the whole boat (motor in front of the cockpit and behind it) is an engine room.

Good for you! Many of us here do precisely what you do, cars for a living, boats for a hobby. Good luck with your project, it's a big one.

Jef if you are going to restore it to the original livery, the engine room and the bootstripe were bright yellow.
When I was sponsored by RUMS OF PUERTO RICO, the boat had a multi shade blue boot stripe and the engine room was covered in blue, which is still on it now. Just in case you had any doubt.
The actual tabs them selves were made for me by my friend, Mel Riggs and have his initials on them. He used just standard hydraulics from Mercury.
