If I have a 100w panel running through a PWM controller to a 100Ah LiFEpo4, which is powers my sailboat's 12v system (including an inverter that I never use), is there a reason I couldn't hook a battery tender to the inverter to float charge the starter battery?
 
Yes that is fine. Although 100w panel may allow the LFP battery to become depleted. Keep an eye on it and prepare to add more solar.
A direct DC-DC charger might be more efficient.
