1972 Glastron v164 trim gauge

[QBhoy]

Glastron boats were used in “Live And Let Die” stunts that were filmed here in Louisiana. The Jet boat scene where Rodger Moore crashed the wedding scene was the second one. The day before he hit a tree and knocked out his 2 front teeth on the steering wheel, so a set of teeth had to be made for the rest of the filming.

Love that boat chase. Only thing I can fault it for, is just me having an issue with jet boats in general. They just seem to haemorrhage hp like a severed artery does, blood !
Love the CV19 they used. Billy bobs boat . Even if it was a bloody jet drive !

Yep to me Glastrons are associated with that movie in those great chase scenes. That movie came out the year I graduated from high school….

Thank you.

I have not have good look finding the service manual for this boat. With wonderful Google I found out that the v164 was how Glastron introduced the stern drive system. It's my first boat and it's been in the water. While underway I don't feel I need the gauge but it would be nice to have it while being by the loading dock.
I found places online that say they have the manual, some have a missing link or out of stock. Other look like a scam and I stay away from them. Do you know a reliable source I could find this service manual?

The manuals for the 1974-1978 Motor and Drives are
Mercury C-90-71707 and consists of Volumes I and II
My motor is 3774544 and drive is 3846493 and those manuals cover them.
