Usually the converter is close to the 12v fuse panel so it can run everything on there with no battery supplying that fuse panel.
If you install a deck mount converter elsewhere (like closer to the battery) so it goes on the battery which is wired to the fuse panel, then your converter is supplying the 12v panel by way of the battery posts. Now it gets tricky how to isolate the battery so you can go converter-fuse panel direct. Now for more fun throw in a Trimetric shunt which is on the neg battery post.
Draw a diagram of your set-up with pencil and eraser trying out on paper how to do it first.
