Yep, it's a fact, Wes.  I raced outboard hydroplanes way back in the early 
fifties.  Back then, racers steered with their left hand and throttles were on 
the right side.  That was to allow the racer to shift his weight and push down 
with his right elbo to balance the boat on the straight aways.

Are you sure this doesn't go back to the days of righthanded sword fighting & 
pistol duels? Bob in connecticut
