What size refer do you have? I would be surprised if it runs on 37 AH per day unless it is really small. Manufacturers are usually very optimistic about electrical usage.
Sorry, missed this one - Isotherm Cruise 130. Yes, it's small but the specs seem to match my experience. The trade off is - hot weather has more sun and I gather more solar, but the refer runs more. Cold weather has less sun and I run the refer less, but the heater more.
I lived off the grid in the military and there are tricks to balance requirements. They can be inconvenient at times (particularly in extreme weather), but all in all it's manageable for how I use the boat.
