Hello vickurzawski, You have a bad bendix. This is mounted on the starter to engage the starter to the flywheel. Check with a local marine shop or auto parts store for a new or used one. Disconnect the battery, remove the starter from the engine, replace the bendix on the starter. Connect a jumper cable to the starter to test operation before bolting back to engine. Make notes on what wires went where before disconnecting.

SOURCE: starter gear doesn't move up to engage flywheel gear when started
The solenoid does two things -- it closes an electrical contact to run the starter motor, and also pulls a lever to slide the motor gear up to engage the flywheel. Since the contact is closing, the solenoid itself must be OK, but the lever could be broken, or the sliding gear could be binding or stripped. Since you're looking at a probable replacement, try cleaning with compressed air, then squirting some WD-40 into the starter gear area - you could get lucky! Otherwise, you can replace the starter/solenoid assembly -- you can find replacements on eBay for about $80. Less expensive but more time consuming is to remove the assembly, disassemble, and replace just the defective parts if you can find them. Good luck! Please rate my answer if helpful, thanks.

You may just have a weak battery, so get the one from your truck and see if that helps. If not get your jumpers and attach one to the negative and force it to have a new ground. Still nothing? take a pair of pliers and use the handles to arc across both big lugs on the starter solenoid. This may cause sparks --so no fuel nearby!! If that isn't doing it, you need a new starter, BUT try tapping the starter body with a big screwdriver handle first.
Sometimes the brushes are just stuck.
