This is a pretty risky thing to be trying.. A hell of a lot of water is going to want to come into the boat during the removal.. this is not going to be as quick as a transducer/plug swap....

I think you're asking for trouble.. but if I was to try this I'd simply get a spare piece of 7/8" shafting and slide it into the gland as the prop shaft is pulled through.

But again, this is really a haul-out job..
