Herrenchiemsee Timing and Logistics
Is the following schedule feasible/recommended.
Depart Munich via train at 8:48 arrive 9:49. Travel to the palace and depart in time to catch 15:10 train to Salzburg.
Not sure how long it takes to allocate for the transfer to the ferry. How do I get to the ferry from the train station.

It seems to me that this will be enough time. From the train station to the ferry there is a little steam train (or you could take a taxi).
You can get the whole schedule from the Deutsche Bahn site.
Go to http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/en
Click on "Advanced Search"
From: (Station/Stop) München Hbf
To: (POI) Schloss Herrenchiemsee
Enter the date and time of travel
You get the whole itenerary train-ferry-walk to the palace.

Once you arrive in Prien you also would have the option of walking between the Prien station and the docks in Stock. It is pleasant but would not be suitable if one had luggage, etc. We walked it and it took about 15-20 minutes to complete but we also took our time to look at the houses, etc., on the way.
The narrow gauge train meets arriving D-Bahn trains for the most part.
The boats from Stock over to the island itself take about 20 minutes (each way) to complete the trip.
Once on the island it is another 15 minute, or so, walk from the dock to the palace itself. Or, you can take one of the horse-drawn carriages for a fee.
The palace itself is the largest Ludwig project of all (over 200 rooms...not all are open to the public)and is also the most beautifully decorated IMO; it really does look like a miniature Versailles inside.
I would plan on spending enough time to do one of the tours (periodically in English).
