As a new owner of a 2003 Utopia with Mercury 240 optimax engine the throttle seems to be very tight and wanted to know how tight this throttle should be
Is it easy to adjust and are there any videos I can view to do this myself.

Could be time for a new throttle cable as these do tend to go tight before finally seizing up.

There is friction adjustment below the levers. This could be loosened.
BUT- more likely your cable is just old. The grease inside hardens. Parts rust. Linkages could be tight. Eliminate these. Then replace the cable. Common marine control cable. Not from Seadoo. Takes about an hour.
