Do I get to keep running a boat or can I still work if the USCG is still working on my renewal?

No. You will not be able to work on you MMC until you have your new one in your hands.

When can I start the renewal process?

If you renew within 8 months of expiration, your new MMC will be post dated to the day after your current MMC expires. This ensures that you have no lapse of your valid USCG license and that you don't lose any of the five years you paid for on both licenses.
