Hello I just got a boat form a

Hello I just got a boat form a guy up the street from me for $400. My expectaions are slim but I'm sure if all else fails I can get that out of the trailer and engine alone. I have never owned a boat and know nothing about outboards. Do the manuals have trouble shooting guides in them? I get power to the console and all my pumps are working. When I turn the key I get a short beep in the remote then when I turn to start I get nothing. I can hear a real light sounding hum in the engine though. I jumped the starter and it engaged in the flywheel and turned the engine over. Are the sylanoids build in the starter or separate? Are there any other things I might be able to trouble shoot to help me out here? Thanks in advance!
 
be shure so check all grounds

be shure so check all grounds and power wires at battery and motor. big wire comming off starter is going to the solenoid when you turn key to start posisson you should have 12vdc to yellow wire on solenoid. make shure you are using a good marine battery and is fully charged you shoud have 12vdc on one side of starter solenoid at all times. double check ground on block main battery cable
