Actually, it is illegal in the US to modify a marine radio to ham
frequencies or to modify a ham radio to marine frequencies. They are not
"type approved" by the FCC. This is not to say that it is not done. There
are "type approved" radios for both - see the ICOM web site. Also suggest
you read info at hf - on - board web site at www.hfradio.com

If you have a Ham license, then I think it is no legal problem to have a
marine ssb also enabled for ham frequencies, because it will then just do
that, and you won't be able to emit on frequencies you don't have a
license
to. The inverse is not possible, because ham gear is not that
programmable,
you will just disable the emiting limits and you will be able to emit on
any
frequency, not just marine and ham freqs.
