Boat in build pics (Squadron 78)

Do you know: I never gave much thought to adjacent socket outlets on the same service pole being on different phases, always assumed each pole would be on its own single phase. I plug in two leads, one dedicated to AC and the other for general power both on separate RCDs with no cross-over so no problem, but I am going to check this now when out in a few weeks.

No real problem other than a much higher potential of course (louder bang should ever the phases meet), which of course, JFM's box of tricks deals with quite nicely, but I suppose its good to know these things as I do from time to time check out the electrical panel without isolating the supply, I would be just a little more careful if it was potentially 400/415v.....

You have to watch out for service poles in your part of the marina, John - sometimes they get removed!!!

Seriously, though, you may find that yours are all on a single phase
My service pole has a three phase socket outlet as well
I use two of the single phase outlets which happen to be on separate phases.

I suppose if they have taken a TPN supply to your service pole Mike to feed a TP socket, it seems logical they might then spur-off this supply to feed SPN sockets.

I shall test my service pole when next out, I suspect as you say they are likely to be on the same phase (where no TP socket exists). We shall see!
