Looks like the shift shaft, but never seen one exposed like that
Might get more feedback if you post in the 3L forum (covers your engine) be sure to include engine serial number as well.

Really don't know why the rubber washer is on top of the coupling should be below it.

Pitot speed.
The black hose comes from the speedometer pitot in the leading edge of the lower unit. It connects to a fitting on the shift shaft cover. If you don't use your boat speedo you really don't need to worry about it. As bassman mentioned, the rubber washer on top of the coupler should be below it on the shift shaft.

Somebody didn't know what they were doing when they took that lower unit off for some service.
