The water bath draws a lot of salt out I believe,

I dont think you need to soak it but it wouldnt hurt to rinse it. I used to make a New England Boiled Dinner with potatoes, carrots and onions. Delicious ...but I can't get pork butts in my new town. :(

it depends on how it was cured. if you think it is a salty ham, than, Yes I would. It cant hurt.

my self i would not soak it

Country ham needs to be soaked way longer than overnight, City ham does not need to be soaked.Do you know what you are doing?Most country hams are not Butt. Do you know what you have?

yes
