Thats a rubber mount that holds the motor to the shaft housing coming down in front of it!!
You can start the motor like that but don't go doing any tricks before replacing it!!

As the eye said, lower motor mount. And one EXPENSIVE SOB to! I bought a set last year to the tune of $260 and then I had to buy the mounting bolts. Did you remove the cover for any particuliar reason?

It is a pretty MAJOR job to replace those mounts after years of saltwater use. They don't just come out.
