Have to tried to jump straight to the starter from the battery? A lot of times people forget about the engine ground connection from the battery. I would remove the ground and clean both ends to bright shiny metal and reconnect to the engine and battery post again. And do the same with the positive wire as well. If still doesn't start, jump from the battery straight to the starter and see it that works. If that doesn't work, you have either a dead battery or a burnt starter that needs replaced. JMHO

The battery is good and I cleaned all the connections and I jump the solenoid and it fired right up and I checked the actual start button and it has continuity so I'm not sure where to go now

The starter botton although shows continuity could have carboned, corroded inside contacts which doesn't turn engine ON when the real amps are applied to do its homework.....

Happy Boating
