I am just interested in any reasons I should *not* run the
cables under the batterybox, appropriately secured, and away from
moisture, etc.

I see no reason why youcan't do that. As long as you seal the terminal ends to
keep moisture from migrating through the cable, Go for it!!

Yeah, that adhesive lined heatshrink is great stuff, a bit pricey, but
far cheaper than not using it That and proper lugs that are closed
off so no wire sticks through. Look like a bit of pipe, hammered shut on
one end, and a hole drilled through. Actually, that's probably how they
make them.

AYBC doesn't seem to care if the cables go under the batteries, as long
as the usual caveats are followed, out of the bilges, sealed ends,
tinned copper, well secured, spill proof battery box, etc.
