Four Winns Horizon 200. My ignition switch has become loose, such that when I turn the key, the entire housing turns with it, and wont allow the engine to start. I have to physically hold the housing in place when I turn the key, or reach underneath and hold the entire ignition unit in place while I turn the key on or off.

Has anybody dealt with this, and have any easy solutions? I don't see a nut on the back side that can be tightened up.

Thanks.

There should be a relatively thin nut behind the dash, I am not sure how it would be held in place otherwise. For example:

Are you sure there is no nut?

Thanks, Gott. I better look closer. It does seem like there has to be a nut under there.

It should look something like this:
