Help! Just purchased a 3607 and am having trouble figuring out what seacocks go where!

Anything related to the operation of your boat. Steering, Bilge Pumps, thru-hulls, bottom paint, etc.

This is also directly in front of the starboard engine (this one looks promising as it looks like it is designed to hook a hose up to to pump in antifreeze - still can't figure out what it goes to though - turning it off did not seem to effect the head).

Does the boat have a generator?? I'm trying to figure out what that is on the left side of this picture. Could that be part of the generator or the muffler for the generator?
Good eye, yes that is the generator, although it hasn't run in a few years so I am not worried about winterizing it.
Well I was wondering if that open hose barb might have connected to the generator. It's hard to tell from the pic if that seacock is in the right place for the starboard engine, or if it was a different one that would have been used for a generator. Looks closer to the keel than the normal starboard intake.

I'd still put some RV Antifreeze in the fresh water tank and pump it thru the system so the pump, tank and plumbing is protected.
