Something I've wondered....

I thought it would having something to do with the rotation of the
prop and its force. Putting the weight (YOU) on that one side
would balance it out....



Very much a factor in small, single engine runabouts.

Not a factor in larger boats, where shifting a couple of hundred pounds
from one side to another will not make a significant difference in the
trim.

Most pilothouse boats and boats with interior helms will favor a
starboard or centerline location for the helm. Boats with starboard
lower helms will have either starboard or centerline upper helms, (as a
general tendency). Port helms are rare enough that the exceptions prove
the rule.
