There are a lot of theory's about this. The only one I believe in is, MAKE SURE YOUR ARMS ARE NOT COVERING THE AIR BAG!!!

Actually I've seen more set up as single driver's seat in the center of the bow. Why then where they are not single seats, are they on the right? Tradition. As you dock, it's usually to the bank on the right side, so it's easier to see from a right position. Then when motors came into play, remember that early powered boats used automotive engines and often were simply the engine in the middle of a boat with an extension on the rear of the crankshaft to drive a propeller at the back of the boat. Most engines turn in a clockwise direction when viewed from the rear. A high powered engine particularly in a small round hulled boat will succumb to the laws of physics and the boat will try to turn in the opposite direction to the propeller. This could be seen in the right side lifting slightly when under power, to overcome this early boat builders put the seat, steering gear, and anything else heavy, on the right.

I was taught 40+ years ago that a steering wheel is like a clock. Put your left hand at 10:00 and you right at 2:00
Works rather well

Decades ago at a party for race drivers, the driver Buddy Baker gave this advice. Said positioning your right hand at 7 o'clock gives the best control. I've done it ever since.

While most people say at ten and two, most drivers ed books say where you feel you have the most control with both hands firmly on the wheel. My drivers ed teacher tried to flunk me because I liked to have my hands at 4 and 8 and he said it was wrong, so I looked it up and showed him he was wrong. He shut up about it. And btw it is not illegal to drive barefoot, we also had this fight, and he was wrong.
