It doesn't effect your share, but it keeps the crew happier a bit longer and it helps your reputation (for getting a crew next time you go out to sea).
Here are some more tips (although most of it was already said).
1 - don't land in ports with a large and unhappy crew (they will leave you and take a lot of money, so the rest will be even more unhappy).
2 - if you stay at sea, they may rebell, and you will fight their leader. that's not good, but it's not the worst thing that can happen (just make sure you win).
3 - to make them happier, after you land, devide the plunder (sell all you can before that - just make sure you are left with the ship you want to keep).
4 - it's better to have as many men as possible killed before you do 3 (less man and more money - always makes them happy). So attack big towns, attack ships and don't take any sailors. Don't try to get a quick win, but lt coputer kill as many people as possible (use small ships against large enemy ships - so more of the crew dies).
5 - remember, you can not keep them happy forever, so devide the plunder at just the right time (a lot of money, only a few men) and you will get a new crew (that will stay happy longer). The longer the crew is under you, the unhappier it will become. The larger the crew, the faster it becomes unhappy. Big plunders make crew happier again (I noticed that it's usually about 100 gold peices per crew member, so if you have 400 sailors you need to get at least 40.000 in an attack to really improve the moral - or kill many sailors).
