2017 212x. I'm having an issue where one or both of my ignitions are loose, to the point where I can't start the engine cause the key just spins with the ignition assembly. I have to reach in from the helm door and hold the back of the ignition switch and start it. I've tried to tighten the little plastic nut that holds the things in place but they keep coming loose. Any tricks that you guys know of for this?
 
Hmmm. The holes in my dash are cut with a flat so they can't spin.
 
Mine did this once when new last season. I took off my dash panel off so that I could hold the ignition real tight and then tightened up the plastic nut. It hasn't moved since.
