You can power any panel from a 12 VDC source. On many construction sites
where power wasn't available at the time I installed a panel, I'd "zap" the
AC input terminals with a 12 volt battery to "wake it up" and allow me to
program it (this works equally well on Ademco, DSC, and Paradox panels).
When the AC was finally connected everything was up and running and the
customer could start using the system immediately. I don't see any reason
why you shouldn't connect it to your boat's (or automobile's) 12 volt
battery. Keep in mind that most alarm equipment runs on 12VDC, so if you're
trying to power it from a 24VDC source, "bridge" the connection on the
battery so that the panel only sees the 12VDC.
