Mine did the same thing. Where the throttles are, there is a white plate. Remove the screws and lift it up. There are screws on the sides of the levers that you can tighten to put more pressure on it.

Yup... what he said. you can adjust the drag in the lever assembly.

Be careful about a couple things -

- When you remove the 4 screws which hold the throttle assembly into the deck
there is a metal backing plate under both sides which will drop down into the hull and be gone forever, so you have to be prepared to reach under and tape it, remove it, or otherwise secure both pates, which is hard to do. You couls take out 1 screw and use a piece of wire to hold the plate thru the screw hole.

- Not sure if your boat has dual throttles (2 engines) - if so the tensioner screw for the inside throttle is on the port side of the assembly, I would check the fiche web site to see it, and by all means get a shop manual which states the procedure. There are other screws so be careful which ones you tighten.

- Put a thick towel on the deck the throttle assembly will ding it up when it comes out.
