Stop the engine(s), throw the person a line, preferably with a flotation device attached.
I watched a guy from my dock the other day. Apparently his outdrive wouldn't go down with the electrical control.
His solution - Barefoot, he sat on the swim platform and pushed it down with his foot. Yep the engine was running and it was in gear.
