Your problem is how to affix a stabilizer, sail, or other appendage to the hull and to do so in a manner that will afford reasonable resistance to shear...

If guess work, at least the jig will assure symmetry between the two shafts -- they will be wrong... equally!

You loft the orthographic 'front-view' onto the face of the jig. find the center of the doors, and that becomes the center of rotation....
