Actually you only need 800 PSI which is still way past what a ram pump can
produce. There is a tow behind RO watermaker called the Waterlog that uses
a small mechanical pump powered by a propellor. Though JAX claims them to
be mythical I met two cruisers in the BVI who used them all the way from
Gibralter and were very happy with their performance.

You *might* get 1 or two PSI from the ram action. You need about 3000!
