Installing any filter on the return grille might be only marginally helpful. If it's like most boat installs the ac unit is going to pull surrounding air including bilge air or whatever surrounding compartment air and this least resistance air will not be through that filter., because they are not isolated or closed system like your home hvac where all the return air must pass through the return grill and filter. That's why the foam filter is directly on the coil i have redesigned the install of a couple my hvac units on my 405 to be a closed type setup because we would smell the bilge in cabin when the ac was running it's not easy on a boat but can be done..
