Default Volvo Penta 5.0 Gxi - High RPM Idle

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

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!
