Is this the best option for a seawater pump for my galley sink?

I am replacing my foot pump on the galley sink with an electric one and think this is the best option. After reading the threads here it seems like the Marco gear driven pumps are the quietest and most reliable. It will be mounted under the sink in the cabinet slightly above the water line.

Is this what I want

Certainly more powerful than I'd use.
If someone accidentally left a faucet open ... then you want noise don't you?
An open flow rate of about 4LPM / 1.0GPM at 35PSI /2.4Bar would be quite sufficient.
But frankly I'd stick with the foot pump.
They're pretty much fail safe.

I’m putting it on a switch and above the water line because I”m paranoid about having a pump through a through hull. We are basically looking to get a decent amount of pressure for washing dishes
