I think std small sailboat rudder hardware would be just fine .

I would get 4 of the bearings and mount 2 on the transom a foot? apart.

And 2 at the bow of the boat to be towed .

Either dropping a rod thru all 4 , or as I'm lazy mounting a rod with a 180 bent in on the canoe..

The rod would be fixed in the canoe bearings and simply lifted and dropped into the transom mount.

Canoes don't weigh much so the bow could easily be lifted a foot 2 to engage,

It could swamp from a breaking wave astern , but probably could not be flipped.

KISS
