Steering device on a boat (6)

I believe the answer is:

rudder

(Other definitions for rudder that I've seen before include "It steers a ship" , "Ship's steering plate" , "It is used to direct course of ship" , "Control surface on plane's tail" , "Steering system" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
