mercarb accelerator pump

My 2 barrel mercarb needs a new accellerator pump. I went to my local marine store. When he said that will be 65.00 bucks plus tax i almost feel over.. It's just a peice of metal with a spring and a rubber cup. And that didn't even include a air horn gasket. It's for a 1987 3.7 engine. It's the newer style with the 90 deg bend at the top. I have 1 idle mixture screw so that makes it a mercarb. Needless to say i didn't buy it. I know boating ain't cheap but that's just robbery. I was thinking 10 bucks or less. Esp since i can buy a rebuilt kit for my other boat which uses a 4 barrel for under 20 bucks and that includes gaskets, needle and seat and a accelerator pump. Is there a accelerator pump from a rochester 2bbl that will work?
