It depends on what you are trying.
To hold a position can require the boat to spin around if it has to oppose a current especially dynamic currents. Also would need both speed and direction control, or perhaps 2 motors each with speed control.
I intend to support these configurations with multiple motors like people with multiple hydraulic pumps or multiple rudders even as well. The new boards I'm making have 2 motor controller outputs. This will be eventually but not in the next version.
If you hacked in a new "pilot" it would be the easiest way to try this out. Alternately a new mode could be added for position hold, but to really work it needs at least 2 outputs not just a rudder.
