The foot
pumps are far easier to use... since you have both your hands free...
Also, if you're going to be cruising at all and anchoring out, I would highly recommend fitting a raw water faucet at the galley sink. This allows you to rinse and wash the dishes in raw water, from outside the boat, and then just do a quick rinse in fresh water from the tank, helping you conserve your fresh water supply.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
