I agree, the mechanic should say sorry about that and put the hose on for free. But he should do nothing to repair the engine damage that was not his fault. He had nothing to do with that. If the kid had shut it off and got towed in as he should have, (and any reasonable person would have done) there would be nothing wrong with the engine and the whole thing would be nothing more than an inconvienience. Not an engine disaster.

Absolutely agreed. Boats arent cars. You throw your kid the keys, they wreck it up, even a little, easy fix. Throw your kid the keys to your sterndrive boat, sadly, assume the repair bills if they are inexperienced.
