Most small boats do not have a large circuit breaker/fuse on the bat cables.
Others wires appear to have open ends – not sure what they are.
Ever see what happens to metal when a hot jumper cable hits a grounded piece of aluminum?
Be safe.
Sage advice.

You have an original failed tank.
RDS is thick wall.
CG plate still on the tank?
