Kicker on the opposite side your helms on. Balances the boat if you’re fishing alone

Like others say, on the port side to balance things out. It will also usually give you more clearance for the tiller on the kicker to not hit your main motor.

I have a new 23' Striper and the kicker was mounted on the helmsmans side (starboard) because of the ladder and swim grid. Very irritating as she does sit off balance now in the water. I normally get whoever is with me to sit on the opposite side to balance things out. Especially when putting the boat back onto the trailer.
Counterbalance is an option , but I do not want the extra weight.
I'd say if you have the option then mount it where it balances best.

Is the left side looking forwards or backwords
If you use the tiller it should be where you can comfortably reach it.

the left side is the port side. I seriously hope you are kidding with that question "looking forward or backwards"
