"What size shafts? 1-3/8"?"

"Yup, best case scenario is that the vanes have taken a seat and won't pump properly after sitting that long. Worst case (& most likely) the vanes get torn off and you have to looking for them.  I believe the bolts are 1/4 x 20 and the hex heads are…"

"You don't have to remove pulley to replace the impeller - just the three bolts that hold the pump half together.  On a 31, pretty easy to change ( do have to remove belt) on the port side.  I use to remove the pump on the starboard side to replace…"

"The GPM (volume/rate) of the pump is determined by the impeller and RPM of the impeller.  The raw water pump on the "Q" engines use the Sherwood 10615 impeller and the pump rate is shown on page 10 of their catalog:…"

"The pumps probably would have been changed several times over the previous 50 years.  Most of the Commanders of that vintage had a diaphragm pump with a hose that would lay in the keel to pump it dry (with the keel acting as a sump).  The diaphragm…"

"Do you have an engine synchrozer light.I had similar problems. In my case it was interference from engine synchronizer. In my case just turning it off worked."

"The cabin is not much bigger on the 35 Express than the 31, so not much gain there.  The 35 is wider (13ft, same as the 38) and has a much bigger cockpit - so if you are entertaining more people and using it as a day boat, there is an advantage. …"

"Sounds like a bad oil pump or debris at the pickup."

"The port and starboard should be the same on the Qs."

"There should be a drain plug on each side of the block, each exhaust manifold, and possibly on each riser.  Should also be one on the transmission oil cooler.  CC was indicating the plugs with red paint during the K vintage.  The Qs also had a drain…"
