I watched a U-tube on water electrocutions and one data point the presenter made was that 13% of the boats investigated had the neutrals tied together.
My boat has the neutrals switched with each of the hot phases. However, when switched from shore to generator the breakers are by-passed and the generator and boat wiring goes to single phase 120V and combines the hots into the same phase so the whole boat has AC power. Switching back to shore power separates the hot wires in two banks so the incoming split phase 220 will work without shorting. Obviously my neutrals are tied together. Is this wrong?
