Welcome aboard!
Besides the starter solenoid there is a slave solenoid on top of the engine near the breaker, red button. This is know to go bad and reduce the power to the starter making it not start. If you conclude it is the starter it will be easier to remove the exhaust manifold on that side for better access. Under Documents of this site you will find the Mercruiser manual for your engine.
