yeah, that's all ive been able to find... what i'm looking for is a pump rather than a pressurized tank or accumulator.
then, it could serve multiple purposes.
prime system for initial startup of each season
act as backup pump if there are oil pressure issues (verify oil pressure w/o motor running if gauge drops)
easy oil changes
no dry starts during the boating season
Doing some OSO searching i found this picture that Vinnie P posted.

I might have a Melling pressurized prelube tank solution for season start up. I have recently purchased the tank for this seasons start up but, have not tried it yet. It is called the Melling MPL-101. I am going to rig up the fittings to make season start up a snap. If anyone has any suggestions, please pass them along. I hope this helps.
Check out the video and link. I will let you know how it works when I give it a try.

Doesn`t seem too complicated:
my stuff is all taken apart but i took some pics for ya:
Pump picks up from pan
Aeromotive check valve to oil adapter is how mine was set up.. This year I`d like to utilize it to change the oil too .. thats gonna require some more plumbing.

yep, that's my thought too... IMO, since it's only building pressure for start up and oil changes, not that crucial to buy some proven kit... just as easy to build a system using a quality pump and check valve

The masterlube system doesn't pick oil up from the pan. It is directly plumbed into the oil pressure system, When activated it allows pressurized oil, stored in an accumulator into the system prior to cranking. After start up it is re-pressurized by the engine oil pressure and you then turn it off. I have two complete systems available.
