Looks like an old reostat, normally used to turn things up and down.

Do you know what it does?

Livewell timer maybe.

I took my tilt trim unit off and the white part of these fits into a slot that?s in the pin that holds the top of the cylinder in place.

Right, so it is a reostat, it sends a signal to your trim gauge in the dash to make the needle work.
