Looking at the stickers, 600w at 12v is 50amps. Blue Sea has some calculators available but 16' jumper is actually a 32' loop. With 10% allowable voltage drop your minimum wire size should be 6awg so you are spot on there.
I think a battery plug would be much more user friendly than bolting and unbolting. Check these out. https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Anderson-Power-Products/6384G2-BK?qs=sGAEpiMZZMtjzVbpKqo2YZRH3O%252bLIhj7QBk3NnqMI8E%3d As for the other listers ideas of simply getting a longer hose is it safe to assume that you need to ensure that the compressor is getting fresh air and that this is why you need to move it outside?
