Sounds like something that should be handled in vanilla and not require mods to implement the logic. You should open a issue for it, I might pick it up myself. If you do, attach a dummy template of boat with turret point to make the testing easier. Or if you can't wait next release and you just want to do it yourself, please open a PR on main repo that would be most useful.

Yes I did fix this bug with @Vantha in #8652.

This is a known bug. I think it was fixed here for the next release here: Issue #8651, PR #8652. Perhaps some dev can confirm it.

That is excellent news!!! Looking very much forward to that!
