Default Need a Way to Wash Hand with Fresh Water

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.


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.

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


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.

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.

Thanks for the very "out of the box" solution. I will see if I can
find one.

He just wants to wash the salt from his hands. With this he'll have
to brush his teeth and put on make-up.

No, he wanted fancy way to rinse hands. I would just spash water from a
Sport top bottle. Been there done that. Not for salt but for mustard, etc.
