[Inflateco Rick]

There is a way to do it in the water. Ed Reiner of Dana Point , CA has a tool and does it two people. Contact him for possible reference or ideas. You'll need to google him.

Question - does the boat have to be pulled to replace it or can it be replaced in the water. What are your thoughts?  Thanks.
