Assuming that 128.83.1.1 is your gateway machine, then just add

net 0 gateway 128.83.1.1 metric 1 hardwired

to the gateways file (/usr/spool/erpcd/bfs/gateways).  This will be
picked up when the Annex boots.  This is identical to how BSD route/routed
allows a default route to be added.

As of R4.1, the "0" can be the word "default".
