Motor was an 8.1 merc, where water pump is low but accessible.

I have seen the waterpump pulled while in the water, he just plugged the water hose with a dowel. Call one of the mobile marine mechanics and see if they can help you out.

Or buy yourself a replacement water pump and tackle it yourself. Not that hard if you’re handy

Good luck
I did my 7.4 Bravo III at my dock. When you pull the raw water intake hose off it will flood the boat if left un-plugged. I forget exactly what I did but remember it wasn't a big deal.
