-3 phase power would be unusual in my experience except on a mega yacht.-

Bilge-I had considered that, but Brother egavasm didn't tell us how big a craft
he has, IIRC.

If that's the case, then they've prolly paralleled the poles 2x2. That would
give ya a simple 2 phase output...a pity though, I'm thinking of all the motors
requiring start capacitors for the torque...that's what makes 3 phase so
nice...smaller motors for a given job, and starting torque is no problemo, You
would need step-down xfmrs for your domestic service, and I unnastand that
y'all are a little cramped for room,(heck, WE'RE cramped for room, and we're
700 feet and change long!),but xfmrs don't have to be all that godawful
humongous.

In any event, a moot point if he's not exciting his field...no matter how his
poles are wired, if he's not cutting magnetic lines of force, he's just
spinning a lot of copper.
