Although I could not reproduce the visual glitch so far (in 1.21.4-pre1), I can confirm the rest. It gets especially interesting if a mob is placed in the boat after the player has exited it (the mob's head spins forever). I will attach a video.
Would MC-244804 describe your issue? The visual glitch should be reported separately to the entity head rotation issue, as these are two different bugs.
In MC-244804, the mob's head spins only while the boat is moving, whereas here the boat is clearly stationary; and even if the boat were somehow invisibly rotating, why doesn't the head spin stop then after some time?
The issue where boats remain spinning after exiting and entering them is tracked at MC-96365, so I've removed that part from the report. If you can still reproduce the visual issue, please attach a video of it occurring while the F3 debug screen is enabled.
I uploaded a video using F3 debug menu, i can confirm
modxvoldhunter, that's the issue covered by MC-96365. Also, your game is modified.
And what is the case with the issue where a mob's head spins forever without the boat even moving? Is that also a duplicate or a new bug?
That issue was never covered by this report in the first place, and should be reported separately.
Ok, sorry. I will make a bug report tomorrow if I have time.
