[Land-speed] Can anyone confirm this? Not LSR

Question was why are boat steering wheels on the right side?  This was 
the answer posted by one respondent.

Boat propellers turn clockwise, sez Leon, and hulls used to be designed 
in such a way that when there was torque on the prop, the right side of 
the boat would rise up. So the wheel was put on the right, so the 
weight of these "healthy sized" fishermen would counteract that. As 
long as they didn't put the beer cooler on the left, which would throw 
everything off. This is not a problem with modern hulls, but the design 
stuck. Racing boats, however usually have the wheel on the left, like 
American cars.
