    Ignition key spins freely.

    I have a 13' tracker 165. Whenever I start the engine, the key will spin freely in a circle. Anyone know of a quick fix?

    Is it just the key or the entire switch? The nut on mine will come loose sometimes and the entire switch will spin.

    FWIW, I have had to replace the switch in my 2012 TXW 175 three times for locking up

    When I had my ProTeam 165, I had that happen once in the 20 years I owned it. I replaced the whole switch.

    I had a problem with my entire switch turning, and I could not get it to tighten up. Finally discovered the plastic nut was cracked. Replaced it and problem solved.
