I use a hair drier for an air mattress. It has a COLD setting, which you need. There are DC powered hair driers. Unlike the electric pumps, hair driers can run 100% duty cycles and will move a lot of air, but just not at high pressures. For a boat you do not need more that the hair drier can do, but if you do then just top it off with a different pump.
A short internet non-google search for pumps that actual boaters use will turn up a lot of really good options.
Again, there is no one pump for everything outside of a full-blown air compressor.
Did you plan to inflate a big Grand Canyon sized raft or just small things? Those big pumps mentioned will be ideal for non-electric needs. (it is a hand pump you hold with your foot, it has a stirrup, and the can is about the size of a 2 liter bottle. It moves a lot of air.
