Maybe the rubber bushing for the bottom of the swivel tube. Part No. 58 in the attached diagram. The diagram is for a 1958 model so need to verify. Johnson Lower Unit Group Parts for 1958 5.5hp CD-15 Outboard Motor

On second look I see the part is on ruled paper which provides some scale. It’s much smaller than the part I referenced.

Maybe someone cobbled that in to replace a bumper for mounting the shroud, or put it over a shrunk shroud bumper to cure a rattle.  Part number 77 (2 rquired) at the link below:

This makes more sense. It does look like a squashed piece of fuel line substituted for a front bumper mount. I think I see the reinforcement fibers in the cross section where it may have been cut. Maybe see if it fits on the mounting stud on the intake manifold.
