It should move to the port side (left). Pushes your stern to the right causing a left turn

Direction is seen from out side the boat, not inside. Pull the cable out of the helm and feed it in the other direction. If cable is coming out the top have it come out the bottom

The drive should go to the same side you turn it to. If you look at the back of the boat from outside the drive should go left when you turn the wheel left.
