If the starter is engaging well and staying engaged while you press and hold the starter button, then the solenoid is good.
I would do a compression test. In 2-strokes, this is a very common complaint. They lose some compression and have a hard time starting in water. Not as common with the 4-tec engines. Also, the 4-tec engines LOVE quality spark plugs. I'd replace them.

It could be a weak battery and or high resistance in the starter circuit that only affects it during an increased load (in the water). Are the battery terminals clean and free of corrosion? In salt water use, it's very common for the positive cable to corrode under the insulation at the terminal.
