2007 115 hp rpm problem

[redfish fred]

I have a 2007 115 hp e-tec I purchased new in 2006 that has always seemed to drift back on rpm's and I need to adjust the speed the original dealer tells me that it is the nature of the motor does anyone else have this problem and can it be corrected

Is the throttle lever slowly creeping back making it slow down ? If it is the control box may have a throttle friction screw you can tighten to hold it's position.
