Volvo Penta 5.0 Gxi - High RPM Idle

Hello,

I'm a newbie boat owner of a 2006 CL 230LS. I bought it pre-owned and several people that have ridden in it have commented that the idle speed seems too high. At idle, the RPM's seem to run between 750-800.

It has a Volvo Penta 5.0 GXI dual-prop engine.

a) Is this a problem with the boat, other than I have a small wake in no-wake zones?

b) Is this adjustable? And - if so - can I make the adjustment myself?

Really appreciate any feedback!

I saw that the manual said it should be at 600, which is why I'm a tad nervous. Anyone know if it's adjustable at all? johnny8bravo

Yep, idle is always adjustable. I wouldn't sweat it much. How often are you really at idle. If you can't adjust it yourself add it to the items you want fixed next time you have it serviced. jamesgangnc

I'd say that's a pretty normal idle speed.
