[Paddlewise] center seat positioning

A canoe store owner replaced my yoke with a center seat in my tandem..  At one
point during the installation, he got the bow and stern mixed up, so I'm
wondering if he got the center seat installed on the wrong side of the old
yoke position.  He put it on the bow side of the old yoke position.  Is this
correct, or is it just a matter of personal preference?  Also, it is placed
just under the gunnel, while my other seats have long spacers.  Should he have
used spacers to lower the seats the same depth as the bow and stern seats?
(I'm a canoe newbie so I'm pretty ignorant--does that make me a canoewbie?)


Thanks!
