? square socket in head of rudder stock
I am not familiar with the term, but for what it's worth, I just wondered if... Most rudder stocks end in a square, to which can be fitted (for example) the emergency tiller; perhaps this particular one has instead a square female socket (not dissimilar in concept to an ink-well) fitting?
It really would help us all, Asker, if you posted a little more context --- for example, what TYPE of boat? Yacht / oil-tanker ...?
Alternatively, might it be the 'well' in which the head of the rudder stock is to be found, which might well have a hinged flap over it, just like an ink-well (more usually: 'nable').
Just a few ideas for the melting pot!

could it be encrier du gouverneur?
I was thinking of a directional graph plotter which would need an inkwell, or which could probably be refered to as an "inker" but can't see the context.

Lubricating pot for the rudder shaft
This is kind of reaching for it, but rotary printing presses use \"Enriers\' full of greasy ink to continually feed the rollers wtih ink for preinting. Perhaps this same ypte of system is used on certain vessels to lubricate the rudder shaft with grease: The crewman would simply refill pot every day, week or whenever to keep the shaft greased. I\'m reaching, but the term does exist for presses in a lubricating application in the illustrated Larousse

: I think that it's more likely related to the rudder and that the term may be employed more on the basis of visual imagery than actual function. Can't think what it is though.

I would agree with you if I understood what it was you just said. I thought I had stated a type of indicator
