Banged Up Prop, Removal in water?

[Surfly]

OK, total newbie question. I'd like to know if I can fairly easily replace my prop while the boat is in the water. 20' Seaswirl, 4.3 OMC I/O tilt/trim. I have another prop on hand but the boat is on a mooring at the moment. I'm good with tools, motorcycles and machines but this is my first boat...

Any and all help appreciated.

I guess I just wondered if there was any magic or special tricks. I'll give it a go. Thank you very much.

By the way, bsh21wash, how do you like your boat? Mine is the "Striper" model and I have about 6 or 7 hours on it so far. It seems great but then again it's my first boat so I have nothing against which to compare. Maybe I should NEVER try another boat,eh??
