[QUOTE="surfman, post: 456389, member: 7404"] The reason the wheel is usually on the right side of a boat is to counter the effect of the torque of the engine with the weight of the driver. The engine torque will cause the starboard side to rise (or the boat rolls to port) during acceleration and having the wheel on that side counters that with your weight. [/QUOTE]
