Yes to all of the above - is single phase - think we had it running at 220VAC, with 120VAC legs

We carefully dissembled it - down to the block - had to fit it thru 22" door to crew quarters to get out the front hatch. Original plan was to repair armature/rotor (local shop said they could check it all out, varnish and bake windings as necessary). Turned out that the disassembly and, especially the removal, process was so arduous, could not image reversing it, so went with new genset - much smaller, lighter, extremely quiet. We did not need 30KW as we took off air conditioning, replaced two electric stoves with natural gas, etc some time ago.

All is now stored on pallets under tarps in my back yard. As I found out before, oil pan and bottom plate were mounted with 49 bolts of 7 different sizes, etc - so separated batches out as best I could. My tentative plan was to begin putting it back together - mostly because I have grown so accustomed to it over 38 years as the main power plant aboard the boat. Kind of like an an old friend. Would like to find a home for it.

Engine seems to be in great shape, however armature looks to need some attention (rear main seal apparently leaking for some time, so all coated with engine oil) but resistances seem to check out - no shorts in windings (but I am a very amateur electrician). Turns out 4 of the 12 leads were not connected - not sure why. Rotor needs work as one slip ring has 1/8" gouge(think some one probably had brush wear out and holder dug into slip ring earlier it its career) - but windings seem fine (but also oil covered).

Pics attached show block coming out of forward hatch and last parts in back of pick up before heading home after long last day of disassembly.

nothing quite like gm 2 stroke diesels to turn fuel into noise. 568cui per engine.
