I removed a ZF tranny from my 31' Rampage a number of years ago, in the water. No problem with stuffing box leaking.
Depending on the age of the engine/tranny combo you should also think about replacing the damper plate while the tranny is out.
Be very careful supporting the engine from under the oil pan. Oil pans are usually thin material & you could crush or puncture the oil pan. Instead, if no other option, block the engine on the bolts that attach the oil pan to the engine.
As ReelMagic said, "A" frame support with a chain hoist would be good too.
