    Inherited boat, how bad is this?

    It will cost more than 1K, depending on the rot I would estimate 3K and that is knowing the motor and drive only need maintenance. I would estimate 2 months minimum and that means your a quick study with fiber glass work

    What is the correct name for this breaker?

    Yes, with caveat, there will be no issue so long as nothing shorts out. My guess is nothing will. You will know if there is a problem by a big a$$ spark when wires connect together, little spark is ok ;)

    Yes, to both I'm working off what you say, it leaked during priming? Not leaking when running is the way it should be, but also should not leak when priming. Note: the priming bulb will be removed when done, right?
