It looks like your auto-correct changed rudder stock to stalk (like celery).
<insert trivia>
In Europe it is oft times used as one word, rudderstock.

So based on your description if you were to
remove the tiller handle where the single bolt
holds it to the rudder stalk, then you would be
able to move the stalk side to side? What about fore and aft?
Based on my current understanding, it sounds
like the bushings at the deck or hull or both
are worn. Many C&Cs simply used Acetyl (Nylon)
tubes for the stalk to pass through. Many of
us have installed grease (zirc) fittings to
facilitate easier maintenance. A machine shop
can easily fabricate new bushings from stock you
provide. Removing the old ones may prove
difficult. Also when the boat is out of the
water, you want to drop the rudder to make sure
that the shaft isn't eroded/corroded. While
you're at it make sure the shaft/stalk isn't rotating in the rudder.

Hi Josh,
Thanks very much. My apologies.. I should have
been clearer in my description of the
issue. The play is certainly not in the
attachment of the wood tiller to the metal
plates or the stock head (option 1 or 2). That
would have been too easy. It is below that in
what I think is (4) the deck bushing.Â
Thanks again in advance for the help.
Ryan

Not real clear where the play is. It looks like there are at least 4
interfaces which need checked to determine the feasibility of reducing the
play.
1 - Wood to metal plates transition on the tiller.
2 - Â Metal plates on tiller to rudder stock head (square).
3 - Rudder stock head (square) to rudder stock (round) .
4 - Rudder stock (round) moving side to side (port/stbd) in the deck
bushing.
Let us know where the play is being experienced and I'm sure someone will
have answers.
