This one is the charm.

The magnets both have their south poles near the center of the boat and are turned on alternately long enough to turn the boat about 30 or so degrees CCW and CW.

The torque from the magnets acting like compasses is very powerful. The mass of the boat acts as a sort of anchor for the south end of each anchor so one magnet pushes through the boat north as it turns and the other pull from the center of the boat as it turns.

Stay tuned:)
