Just an update on this. I just installed a new adjustable 12v to 5v buck converter. I moved it away from the radio equipment as much as possible, and grounded it to the boat's ground foil. I also grounded the metal case for my RPI, and installed a handful of ferrites on anything I could fined that was related to all this. My problem is mostly gone, although I can detect a slight change in VHF sensitivity when the OP system is powered up.
I guess the only other thing I could do would be to install a conventional voltage regulator instead of the buck converter, but it would consume considerably more current. So, for the moment, I'm going with this.
Here's the buck converter that I bought.
