Actually it depends. Mercury bases the warranty and time associated with jobs based on access to the engine. The engine should have minimum specs of spacing around it, and access to the water pump. IF the water pump, and/or front of the engine, and/or the entire engine are installed in basically a "cube" just bigger than the engine; well then yes the engine would need to be pulled to do a water pump.
So, biggest question is can one actually get to the water pump? Chances are very unlikely that the builder setup the engine compartment so poorly that you can't work on it. Hence, your service dealer is trying to take you for a ride.
