Abstract
A throttle adapted for use on recreational vehicles, especially personal watercraft such as jet skies. The throttle is mounted on a handlebar of a jet ski preferably adjacent the engine on/off switch. The throttle is provided with a quick-release mechanism. Actuation of the mechanism permits the throttle to be moved from a thumb-activated position to a fingers-operated position. Deactivation of the mechanism will lock the throttle to the handlebar in either of the aforementioned positions.
