[C320-list] Throttle Lever Slipping

[Russell and Kathleen Vance]

Hi,
We just purchased a 1997 C320.  When we picked up the boat, there was a small shock cord wrapped around the binnacle post near the throttle lever.  Didn't pay much attention to it until we were on our way home & noticed that the throttle slipps back on its own, causing the RPMs go down.  We surmised that the shock cord was to hold the throttle lever in place.  Has anybody experienced this problem and fixed it?

Thanks,
