Default Outrigger question

Mounting an outrigger, single ama on a tandem SOT. I have two options
for mounting... front or back. Either option attaches the aka at an
extreme end.

Can anyone see and advantage to one over the other? A friend who is
an experienced paddler said that a front mount might cause it to steer
poorly. I'm sure that the outrigger will affect the steering;
however, I can't see why it would impact it more so mounted forward
than aft.

Shape and access ports lend themselves to front mounting.

Thoughts?
