Small boats use a bar attached to the rudder to steer. Larger boats and ships will use a wheel and rope or chain system to control the rudder.
A tiller outboard motor is a type of outboard engine that is controlled directly by a long handle, or tiller, attached to the motor. This design allows the operator to steer the boat by moving the handle left or right, while also controlling the throttle for acceleration. Tiller outboard motors are commonly used in smaller boats, such as fishing and dinghy boats, due to their simplicity, ease of use, and compact size. They are often preferred for their maneuverability in tight spaces and shallow waters.

rudder ?
A conventional rudder is a primary steering device used on ships and boats, typically located at the stern. It consists of a flat, vertical surface that pivots around a horizontal axis, allowing for directional control by redirecting water flow as the vessel moves. When the rudder is turned, it creates a pressure difference that generates a turning moment, steering the vessel in the desired direction. Conventional rudders are commonly found on various types of watercraft, including cargo ships, yachts, and fishing boats.

The boat rudder was invented by the Chinese in the year 100 AD. The Chinese were also the first to invent watertight compartments for boats.
