ArduBoat Spinning in Auto Mode

ArduRover ArduBoat

Our differential-thrust ArduBoat behaves as expected when in Manual mode; however, when switching to Auto, Guided or Loiter mode, the boat starts spinning in place rapidly, either clockwise or counter-clockwise.
Any ideas for the cause for this behavior?

Flip both SERVOx_REVERSED for the outputs connected to the motors and the RCx_REVERSED for the steering input. (Plagiarized from this post @rmackay9.

Yes, @ktrussell is very likely correct.

Maybe you skipped the “Test motor direction” part of this wiki page?
