The dashboard is just to the right of the doorway which is a sliding
plastic panel. There is no way to get across the doorway to the port
side.

Yes, it is a breaker that comes with the windlass and it is
selfcontained so can be mounted anywhere.

Good question! The manual says to mount the breaker somewhere it can
be easily accessed in case it trips at a bad time it can be easily
reset. Not knowing any better I installed it under the dash for easy
access therefore the power wiring has to go down the starbord side.

Why? Why can't you run the wire from the dash directly to portside then
in the cabin to the windlass?

Are you sure you are talking about a breaker? Where is your breaker panel?
