what side of the boat do most people run this off of?

i got a v drive so if i order one it will have to stay on that side... where some you can switch to whatever side you want.
my issue is when i dock or tie off to my cousins boat i wanna be on my port side so i can see what i'm doing so i'd have my boom off the starboard side. will there be issue with it?

also do you guys get it for barefoot skiing or other uses...i don't have any desire to try this just want it for the youngsters and beginners in the family to learn to wake board and ski.
