Default "dry dock" in the water???
wrote:
Since often (too often) boats develop problems with
an outdrive requiring the boat to be pulled, which is
often quite the pain in the ass, it seems there should
be some way of putting an enclosure around the
outdrive which is big enough to hold a person, so
it could be pumped out and someone could get in
to work on the drive. Does anyone know of such?

There are displacement issues to deal with that would
probably negate the practicality of such an enclosure.

Why don't you invent a big air bladder. Slide it under
your bout and inflate. Properly designed you could lift
the stern out of the water all the way to lawyer heaven.
