Is there a way to tighten the throttle level. I noticed over the weekend after spending time on the ocean and hitting waves my mph would decrease. I think with the hitting of the waves my throttle is moving.

I know about the throttle adjustment in the stern to match the rpms which I have done. Didn't know if there was anything else.
 
I believe that on the back side of the throttles at the base there is a plastic plate. If you remove that there are tension screws that can be tightened.
 
On the 2018 FSH on the front of the throttle base is a plastic Rectangular cover take a knife and pop it off and there are two screws under it and tighten or loosen the throttles with those screws
