I used to sail my 35 with a tiller when it was raining until I got an
autopilot. The tiller allowed me to get under the dodger.
I cannot see how the rudder stock would be under any more or less strain than
with the wheel.

Subject: Stus-List 36' wheel to tiller conversion?
Hi All,
Just thinking through converting my 1978 36 wheel to tiller. It seems very
simple. The rudder stock is accessible on the cockpit floor and has a 1 1/4"
square head where the emergency tiller goes. Many considerations but my
question to you is if the factory floor and head and bearing construction are
sufficiently strong to handle the regular forces of tiller steering or only for
the forces to be through the quadrant below deck?
