While it is possible to manipulate the IPv6 routing table manually, IPv6 routers/gateways are usually autoconfigured by means of the Neighbor Discovery protocol, a part of ICMPv6.
Once you enable routing on an multihomed IPv6 host, it should start sending out Router Advertisement packets. These can also be triggered by other hosts sending Router Solicitaion queries
BTW, you will see that the next-hop value of an IPv6 route added using this mechanism will be the link-local address of the router interface. That's normal for IPv6.
