I suggest turning it off. In order for it to run you'll need water flow. Too many boats regularly sink as a result of a failed hose or failed through-hull. Imagine the discharge hose off of the AC coming loose and spilling the water into the boat instead of overboard. Besides that, fires are caused predominantly by wiring failures. Large loads such as the AC are more likely to cause high heat connections and potential fires. Besides when you run it more, you just wear it out. In the Chesapeake Bay we are likely to suck up a jelly fish at least once a day. This is sure to trip the AC anyway.
Solar fans will do wonders for keeping the air turned over.
