Re: 1935 JOHNSON K-35 outboard motor

That numbering system (adding "5") does not apply to all models, as it does not completely fit with the "A" models

For instance – There’s no such motor as an A-30, the A-25 was sold in both 1925 and ’26. Nor is there an A-40, as the A-35 covered 1927-28.

it was only starting with the 1929 model year that Johnson advanced the model number by "5" on the "A" twins, with the A-45 being the last opposed cylinder "A" that was built. In 1930 the A-50 was brought out as an alternate firing twin, and the "OA" series was introduced as the smallest opposed twin motor in Johnson’s line-up.

Hope this helps.
