A lever used to turn a rudder is typically called a tiller. It is a long handle attached to the top of the rudder post and is used to control the direction of the boat by moving the rudder.
A steering lever can be called a tiller if a person is referring to a boat steering lever or a rudder control. Other words used for a steering lever include helm and rein.
A lever can both multiply force by allowing a smaller force to lift a heavier load, and also increase the distance over which a force can be applied.
The oar of a boat falls under the class 1 lever, where the fulcrum is between the effort (force applied) and the load (boat).
A row boat is considered a second-class lever. In this type of lever, the load is located between the effort and the fulcrum. The oar acts as the effort, the load is the boat and the rower, and the pivot point is the fulcrum.

look on the turn signal lever and it's the turn switch in the middle of the lever.
We successfully righted the boat before it could turn turtle.
