    I thought I sent you a set of ’89 manuals? That would be the first year for this system. The cylinder is nitrogen filled for tilt assist as Don mentioned. Since it has a tendency to still go up that would mean some gas is still in it (a good sign)! The cables and routing were a real pain. If the cable has been replaced then there is a high probability it is out of adjustment. As a Don stated the valve must be fully closed for the engine to stay put. Good luck! Tight spaces inside the stern brackets on that model for adjustments.
