Although mine wasn't that fancy I got rid of it for just that reason. Changed to a foot pump and I love it! (saves water & electric) & you can wash both hands...Dale
You run water into a small basin, wet your hands, apply soap and rub well. then rinse both hands in the basin. Empty, add a bit more clean rinse water and rinse again. Not a water waster -- washing hands under running water IS.
If you are on the west coast Minney's Yacht Surplus in Newport Beach has another bin full. Those funky brass pumps used to be plumbed for seawater for washing and cooking to conserve freshwater. Works good for pasta, not so good for shaving.
I love the foot pump on my boat. Unfortunately, so does my four-year-old. It has absolutely fascinated her since the day she discovered how it works (many, many tanks of freshwater ago).
THanks CHuckA - I can't believe I didn't know that was there - I was moored in Noank all summer!
