you would really need to monitor the internal engine compartment.
"Brian" Sydwayz had a great Idea with that remote temp.

Brian, you can winterize both engines in less than 2 hours, 90 minutes or less if there's an extra pair of hands to help. So I'll bite, why are you looking at bilge heaters?

I did it with a buddy in 1/2 an hour, we pull the thermostats so it is fast. I pour it into a funnel on the muffs and it sucks like a ho, then he fogs at the last 3 gallons. I used 6 in each. It was $60.

Eh, call me anal. I even have 496HOs with fresh water cooling and the air pump system to drain the motors of fresh sea water. I just don't plan on doing to fully monty winterizing because the boat is supposed to be going to FL for the winter.

Boater's World and West Marine both carry a new line of marine bilge heaters that are small and easy to mount, XtremeHeaters. I have a buddy with one and he has been happy with it, YMMV.
