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?

In Alaska we have wooden cradles or beaches that we anchor up at in
high tide.
Low tide, the boat is sitting on the hard.
We put our boots on and spread a tarp under where we are working.
We have everything ready. Parts etc. Cause we have 4 hours to get the
job done.
Then we button it up, wait for high tide, pull the hooks, and sail
away.

Cost to pull the boat....$0
