Major Score! The "yeller" ones always look great. Good luck wearing out that Black Max - they are very "resilient" - ask Frizzle.

Your spare part looks like the plunger for the choke solenoid.....

Congratulations on your 20' Seafari. It looks very much like my '76 yellow 20' Seafari. There will probably be plenty of suggestions on CSC about your soft stepdown. Here's what I did for my soft stepdown way before I knew of CSC. It first occurred forward of the cabin door, then a few years later aft of the door. I used a thick cutoff wheel on a Dremel tool with a flexible drive ( to keep the fiberglass dust away from the Dremel brushes and bearings). Then carefully peeled back the upper layer. I scraped out all of the balsa and replaced it with some layers of roving and polyester resin. Then mixed up some cabosil with resin to make a putty to glue the upper layer in place. Then caulked up my cut line. It is firmer than it ever was. There are materials available that could have been lighter weight and just as stiff. But this worked well for me for about 18 years on the repair forward of the door, which I actually did with the boat in the water at my dock at night! The aft repair was done about 10 years ago.
