I am no expert for sure, but I would think that piece would only be needed on a motor with no power tilt/trim. Unless on your particular boat it is possible to tilt the motor down so far it would hit the boat.
That being said, on my 1972 25hp Evinrude, there is a spring on the one end that keeps that bar nice and snug in its place. Maybe you could find a spring that would work for yours if you need it.
