Dumb question, no real value to it, just thinking out loud.

I noticed this weekend that our stbd motor has 50+ more hours on the engine meter than then port. I mentioned this to a fellow boater and his reply was we usally start the stbd first, let it run for a few minutes, then start the port.

Makes sense, but go me thinking about why I start the stbd first. Is it because I am right handed? Is it becuase the stbd throttle is farthest away from me?

Your thoughts?
