Post subject: Replacing exhaust manifolds on the water

I have a Volvo Penta 5.7 GSI. I need to replace my exhaust manifolds and risers. The marina I am at charges about $200 just to pull the boat out of the water. I'm a bit concerned about replacing them while the boat is in the water unless I have all the precautions covered. I realize I need to plug the exhaust tubes but they are huge. The hose to the water pump is no problem. Any suggestions on how to seal the exhaust tubes off? Am I missing anything? I have changed many manifolds on cars. Somewhat mechanically inclined. I just need to make sure all incoming water is blocked. Thanks, Todd
