Decompression Lever?

Does anyone know where I can buy a new decompression lever and cable for my 1983 Cutter?  I can't find any part numbers or pictures of it in the manuals.   I'm not even sure whether this is the correct name for it or if it's original to the boat.  It's a red knob on the starboard side near the floor of the cockpit where it could easily be kicked and broken off like mine was.  The cable it attaches to is frozen also, and the whole thing needs to be replaced.  Hopefully it's an easy job.

Hello,

On my cutter that would be the fuel shut off. I replaced the cable a couple of years ago. I sent it in to Fisheries supply in Seattle and they made a new one for me. You should be able to do the same in your area just find a place that will make up a cable. And I think you can find a knob and the rest of it off the shelf with a little looking.
