I'm not an expert, but heaters in small enclosed spaces scare me.    I would
rather spend a little bit
on cables and not worry.  I bought some AZOO cables from M3 -
  http://www.marine-monsters.com/front/products/ma-subheater.html for my
120.  They come with the
little suction cup tie downs.  You can buy a thermostat (extra) for the
cables if you want.  I just
plug mine into a wall timer which allows you to set on/off in half hour
increments.
Price for the cables was much better than I envisioned ($50-60) - give M3 a
call.
