Default 220 and 110 for cruising boats

I am in the process of getting a 220 boat. I am thinking that if it
takes it takes two phases to make 220 for boat wiring then I can run a
separate pair from the neutral and one phase and make that into 110 for
the boat. I can then install both 220 and 110 plugs on the vessel.
Would like to know if anybody can critique me on this as I am not 100
percent sure.


If this boat is a European boat, there is no "neutral" wiring to get 120V
off of. We simply rewired the French Amel Sharki ketch with all new US
wiring. There's no center tap neutral in Europe...or the rest of the world
on 50 Hz.
