A throttle device for personal watercraft includes a body portion having an arch shape with a central axis extending perpendicular to a top of the arch shape. A first arm extends from the body portion away from the central axis, where the first arm has a first arm end portion for engaging a throttle lever of the watercraft. A second arm extends from the body portion away from the central axis in a spaced-apart relation to the first arm, where the second arm has a second arm end portion for engaging a handgrip of the watercraft. The throttle device is resilient, thereby allowing the arms to be spread apart during installation and biased to return towards a resting position with a resiliency sufficient to maintain a hand-operable throttle lever of the personal watercraft in a desired throttle position.
