Polarised filters for photographic use are able to rotate in their mount to optimise the polarising effect. Admittedly, I have only used them on cameras, but from that experience, I imagine they may need to be adjusted for best effect depending upon which way the sun is facing over water. I seem to recall someone reporting difficulty with getting them right for drones.
I know all about the camera polarized filters and have used them since my first Leica and Land cameras in the 60's. It isn't the sun that is the issue. It is the surface of the medium, in this case water, that you want to block from reflections. Since the water is always below, the orientation should always be the same, as with the polarized sunglasses...... unless you are laying on your side ;-)
I have ordered a polarizing filter for my MA2 and will test it as soon as I can and make a report in the forum, hopefully with video.
