We have a 01 Bryant with a mercrusier 5.7. When we start it up and are idling out of the no wake done sometimes the rpms start increasing by itself. We pop it in neutral and rpms are still elevated so we turn it off. Start her right back up and rpms are fine , until the next time it decides to do it which is about 70% of the time. Any ideas on where to look?

Sticking throttle cable would be my first place to look
