Default 242 525sc swap

I have a 242 project I'm going to be putting a 525sc into , does anyone know if the mercruiser 9 prong plug is compatible with 525sc plug ? I'm sure I'm not the first to do this are there any other things that may hold up completion ? Going to start this as soon as it warms up , I will post pics and progress as it comes together should be a fun ride ! Any input will be appreciated thanks .

pretty sure 9 will plug into 10, but obviously 10 wont plug into 9, meaning boat harness 10, engine 9
