You know, a shaft with rope around it that just turns the rudder. Modern versions use pulleys and plastic coated cables, but everyone wants to sell me an in & out cable for way too much money.

Have you tried boat salvage yards?
Other than the pulleys on the shaft, the whole thing is kinda DIY with some strategically located pulleys and wire. I hated the things when I had to deal with them at the boat fixer-upper shop.

You don't want to hear this, but I just threw away two last year.
Super simple. Hit up a boat salvage yard for a helm. Nobody wants them any more so they're probably cheap unless you get a fancy brass one. Then go to HD or Lowes and buy a clothesline kit. It will come with coated cable, clamps, and other hardware. Then get some pulleys and you're there. I've done it a few times. Works great.
