I like the size of that thing but the color might make it to hit for bait when the sun is out

water shouldn't heat up faster than it's being replensished. if it does become an issue, nothing some weight-reducing white rattle can wouldn't fix. and then i could paint it to look like a rabid gaurdgull and it may ward off annoying flying rats. who knows.
will do a temp test when marine layer burns off.
