Hello.

I have a 97 60hp Bigfoot. I hit a sandbar the engine stopped and won't start. I can jump the solenoid and it starts. I have changed the starter, solenoid, wires to battery and new ignition. Did a continuity on the boat wiring harness and no issues. When I start the motor I get a pop or click at the motor.
 
Sound like you checked everything, if it still doesn't work there is some thing you missed. "When it starts I get a pop...." is this when you you jump start it at the solenoid?

My '86 60hp has a fuse in the harness by the strarter. Have you checked the fuse?
 
I did check the fuse it was good. I was able to get it started after searching solenoids. The solenoid that cam off the boat had one small post. The new one had 2. So I didn't know to connect the ground to the solenoid post. I had it straight on the bolts like the old one. She cranked right up. Thanks.
