Well guys it was a dead battery thankfully. The nut that keeps all the wires on the positive post of the battery was loose and apparently the battery didn't get a good charge last night. I got the boat home, tightened the nut, and within 10 minutes of charging the starter engages and works perfect. Lesson learned: always check volt meter before leaving home, and always have a crescent wrench and screwdriver in the boat. probably gonna invest in a set of jumper cables specifically to be left in the boat.
Thanks again for yalls fast responses, I really appreciate it..

Instead of this get you a battery switch.
ETA: Glad it was something simple

Someone else mentioned a battery switch. This is a good option but the cables are cheaper and work just as good. Plus, if you ever come across a stranded boater who needs a "jump", you can't save their day with a battery switch!

as important as the plug. I have the same motor and the bendix starts to stick about once a year. i spray it with some good silicone spray and its fine for another year. Glad u made it
