I currently have a 1989 150 HP Evinrude outboard, I'm going to be swapping the engine out to a 1987 175 HP Johnson outboard. Should the wireing harness be the same?

The boat I have is a 1989 Larson Center Console, how can I find out the weight capacity of the transoms? I don't see any tag on the boat stating the max size engine.

Thanks for your help..

the harness should be fine...

im not sure what your boat size is but usually for a 17-19' boat 150Hp max... between 20-24' 250HP max....
