May be part of the reason. Since you have a controls/steering to stbd, you will
get the best view during docking when docking stbd side too.
For a single screw boat with the LH prop, docking is normally much easier when
docking stbd side rather than port side too, as Good Ole Mr. propwalk will tend
to pull your stern into the dock when backing.
