I would not do this. Not because of electrical reasons, the thick wire running forward can certainly carry a few amps of solar power, but for safety reasons. That wire is probably fused at 100-150 amps or more and is – or should be – only hot when the windlass switch is on. I would not want that live 24/7/365. Just go on Ebay and look for genuinedealz and get some Ancor 12/2 to run aft with its own appropriate fuse. https://www.ebay.com/itm/12-2-AWG-Gauge-Marine-Wire-Tinned-Copper-Boat-Cable-Duplex-UL1426-Made-in-USA/380908203762?hash=item58afe5eef2:m:mUlmS-6BCWVm7fpaLUYZRnA&var=650257024280
