Since you asked the question in boats and boating I am assuming the engine is in a boat. Also I am going to assume that it is an inboard motor and not a big boat like a yacht. So with all of that assumed I will say yes it must be removed from the boat to get the oil pan off. But if it looks like you have enough room to get it off there would be no harm in trying. if it works great. If the engine needs serviced it is worth a try. Hop I have been helpful.

Depends on the car's make and model and year. Some cars you can replace the oil pan without removing the engine or doing anything special. Some cars you can support the engine from above with a hoist without completely removing the engine and change out the oil pan, and still some cars the only way to do it is to take the engine out.
Without knowing what car you're talking about it's hard to give any further details.

Depending on the space that the engine is in, you may be able to disconnect the shaft, fuel lines, and exhaust, and lift it high enough to change it. Depending on the engine, this could be as little as 6 inches or as much as 12. It's not going to be a pretty or clean job, but it sure is better than hauling the engine out of the boat!
