I have 1986 Bayliner Contessa with (what I believe is) an early 290 DP as it has the worm drive tilt as opposed to the hydraulic. The tilt failed and I got the motor running again after I located a blown inline fuse. HOWEVER, now the tilt works but does not want to raise the drive all the way up. I suspect a problem with the gear, maybe causing the blown fuse in the first place.
Thoughts on where I can come up with a service manual for this sterndrive?
It seems like most of the 290 DP have hydraulic tilt, which is why I suspect it is maybe first gen 290 DP. One manual I was able to find shows what looks suspiciously like the mechnism on my boat on a 280, but so far as I can tell they never made a 280 DP.

And for the icing on the cake some kind soul defaced the name plate. SO far I haven't been able to find a reliable place to search part #'s.
Advice?
