What is a sailboat rudder?
The rudder is the part of the boat that steers. Although the tiller or wheel literally steers the boat, the rudder is in the water, moving with the tiller to change the direction of the boat
Why is the lower deck of a ship called steerage section?
Because in sailing ships, that section would contain the tiller, which connected the ships wheel to the rudder and steered the vessel.
How does a rudder turn a boat?
A wheel is connected to the rudder, when you turn the wheel it turns the rudder. The water flowing by the boat is pushed in either direction by the orientation of the rudder.

Do all sailboats have a steering wheel?
No. Most small sail boats have a Tiller.
What type of engine uses a Tiller for us steering?
any engine that is not mounted in such a manner that the engine itself, or at least the propulsion unit of the engine, that it can be turned to either side, and in a vessel that does not employ a wheel to turn the rudder. SMall outboard engines are the most common form of engine that is steered with a tiller. The tiller is an extension of the engine itself that allows the engine to be turned on its mount. Many small to medium sized sailboats have a tiller mounted directly to the rudder. These boats have many different types of engines, including outboard motors.

Who made the steering wheel?
Probably the guy who found using the rudder uncomfortable-think boats!!
Is there any name for the steering wheel of a boat?
The word "helm" can be used, but it generally refers to the entire steering mechanism, whether it's a sumple rudder and tiller, or a pneumatic wheel. I'd normally say "wheel" to differentiate it from a tiller, and to single that particular piece out from the entire mechanism, but "helm" is also fine.
