Location: Wishin I Was Fishin' | Something I have been wondering for some years now. Not a big deal but more of a curiousity.
Why is the steering wheel in a boat on the right side and on the left in a car?
Is it because the throtle is then controled by the boat drivers right hand? Only reason I could think of.

| Torque of the prop lifting the right(starboard) side of the boat? I think I heard this somewhere. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | The throttle is the major issue. There are lots of center consoles out there, too. |
