Thanks for the great suggestion! That web site seems to have a lot of
low cost hand powered water pumps and faucets.

I have a feeling that they are selling their products for general
purpose use instead of for marine environment; this explains the
reason why they cost much less than what I find in marine supply
store. I guess this should be OK because I am supposed to use it to
pump freshwater from a freshwater tank, not sal****er, and I park my
boat in the driveway, not leaving it in the slip. Moreover, those
that I find in marine supply store are not stainless steel anyway
(chrome-plated may be brass or aluminum).
