Why is it a joke? I always carry a water bottle for washing the salt
from my hands after I have washed my hand in sea water. This
minimizes the irritation on my skin and helps keeping the skin problem
down. Of course, I also use hand cream; this is a given. I guess not
everyone has this skin problem; therefore, most people probably don't
understand how this feels. Let's just say that this problem is
physical, not mental.

One of my sisters has a similar skin problem. If she isn't careful
about what gets on her hands she ends up with sores.

That water bottle works. But it is a bit too ad-hoc and tends to use
more water than needed. That's the reason why I want to find
something more convenient.

The portable hand wash stations I've seen for sale don't match your
needs. I suggest a suitable vented plastic tank to which you attach a
12v RV-type pump, or an automotive windshield pump.
You can run a rubber water line and the switch wiring to where you
want it in the boat, spraying over the side or over a pan. Use a
nozzle that produces the spray you want. The switch can be foot
operated if you so desire. Not much different than a car windshield
washer setup.
It will be an elegant and useful addition to your boat if properly
done, and soon your boating friends will want one too (-:

Sorry to hear that your sister has a similar skin problem on her
hands. Mine was coming from washing dishes, and may have to do with
the use of detergent. Guess what, this problem tends to run in the
same family (my brother also has the same problem). This means you
may develop this problem if you wash dishes without wearing gloves.

Anyway, I have found several hand-powered marine water pump fixtures
in one of the marine supply store. Somehow, they are not as
inexpensive as what I thought. In fact, they cost more or less the
same as a simple electric water pump fixture. I guess I may have to
go for the simple electric water pump instead of the hand powered
version that I originally looked for. Oh well; but at least I have a
choice

My hands take abuse pretty well. When they were calloused I often
cleaned them with a wire brush, diesel oil and sugar. I found it the
best way to remove navy special fuel oil, which is black nasty stuff.
My sister's problem did in fact manifest itself from washing dishes.
She tried different dish detergents to no avail. She now uses an
automatic dishwasher and that has essentially solved her problem.

Well, if I wanted to do what you first asked about, I would take the
electric pump approach I first suggested. You can have a container
holding quite a few gallons of fresh water tucked out of the way, with
only a nozzle and switch to tangle your fishing line on. Of course
you've got to run the wires and rubber tubing out of the way.
Personally I would just use squeeze bottles, or a cooler jug with a
turn spigot to meter the water handlessly. With the spigot you can
rinse your hands normally, as you would do under a faucet. The jug
positioning/attachment would be the major issue.
But since I don't have your particular problem or boat it's hard to
judge what's best. Good luck.

I find a compressor driven grinder provides the best results......

Thanks for the suggestion. I am leaning toward using the simplest
electric pump with a tiny faucet as what you have suggested.
Originally I thought of using a hand powered pump. But the available
models are not cheaper than the simplest electric pump and have more
"things" sticking out in comparison to the electric model.

Windshield washer reservoir and pump. Works off of 12 volts. Find the
size you want and afix it to your boat, install a switch and attach it
to the power buss.

Probably pick one up at a junk yard for almost nothing.
