Have a 358 and when I cruise the star. throttle always like to back off.
I checked the throttle bodies and they seem the same. Is there a adjustment to tighten throttle cables that I am missing? I pulled the shifters up and couldn't
find a adjustment.

What type of sticks do you have? There should be a tension adjustment at the shifters.

I had the same problem you did and called Gaffrig. If stand at the helm and look inside the rubber boot of the shifters you will see an allen screw. Just give this screw a little turn and this will increase the tension on the throttle.
