The rowboats can feel extremely clunky in certain situations, when you're in a tight space, for example at certain skeleton forts. The reason for this is the turn radius is too big and there is no way to go backwards.
The solution for this is to add the ability to row backwards - no need to add any new controls for this, just use the "brake" buttons (Q/E on PC) and if you hold them until you no longer have any forward momentum, you would start rowing in the opposite direction instead and go backwards. This is much more intuitive as well as it's how you would do it in real life.
To prevent players from only rowing backwards because it would be easier, just make it go much slower.
