I have some sailor friends who pre dunk their dishes. I've used a raw water foot pump for prerinsing on a sailboat. I have enough water capacity not to bother with it. At least for the cruising I've done this far. My dishwasher drawer only uses 6 gallons a load.

My former mother in law would not let us stack her good china when we cleared the table because it didn't go in the dishwasher and she didn't want to have to wash the bottoms.
