I have a 06' stingray 180rx with the basic 3.0L gs volvo penta. The engine is all serviced. When I go boating the engine is idling at about 1500. When I try to lower the rpms to below 1000 is starts to die. Is there anything I can do to this? Because of this when I go WOT is goes all the way to 5000-6000 instead of the 4200-4600. (I know it isn't safe, that's what I don't do it)

I assume you are using the dash tachometer gauge as your reference. You might want to verify it is correct with a shop tach since yours seems to be off on both ends.
