The only thing I wonder about that kit is if the pump will be strong enough to pump the water around a large loop of tube, say 3-4m, to get from pier up to OTA and back.

This will depend on the specs of the motor. I have seen not with cooling but with other systems that computer hardware is engineered so tight that just the smallest change in the system would destroy the system. This is a market that needs to save money. The pump could be replaced but with what I am not sure (maybe a pond pump). Most water pumps use a pulsing compression which create vibration in the water, this could transfer to the camera. There are some dampening systems out there but the cost of the solutions would be very high.
The concept of water cooling or even Freon cooling is flawless but the practicalities I feel are concerning and I personally could not spend the money to find out.
