Thanks guys -
I am not a small guy (5'11"" and 250lbs) so I can imagine having difficulty reaching to the floor on my left to unlatch the hook holding it open. That would indicate running with it closed or hinged left. I think mine was hinged right from the factory, based on the divot in the gelcoat about where a latch would go.
I did not think of the issue of gear falling off the bunk and jamming the door. That is a strong point in favor of opening out. Good insight!
