Throttle slippage

Hi BeeReel, I don't know if it is the same mechanism but on my 170CC, (Yamaha), the dealer Told me the throttle is supposed to slowly fall off as a safety feature so that the boat won't keep running on full throttle if you forget to attatch your lanyard and fall overboard. It doesn't slow fast but it can be annoying to have to constantly hold the throttle in any position other than WOT.
