I need a new ignition switch. Has anyone replaced one that can provide a part number?
I went to start 1 of my engines and the key spun 360* in the switch. I managed to get it started, but it needs to be replaced.
I've searched online, but don't see any that are the same. This is a 2002 Fountain Lightning. Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.
Here is a pic of the back side.

That's what I thought, but there seems to be two different sizes. 13/16" and 7/8" hole size. My panel doesn't seem to be either of those. Am I just being a moron?? LOL it's also not a round hole.

No, the insides spun around in the housing - I'd guess the spring or detent on the inside broke. Key would just turn all the way around. I ended up ordering Sierra MP41030 Switch. Ir arrives today, so I'll know pretty quickly if I can boat this weekend or not.
I couldn't find any that indicated flats on both sides - but maybe my search terms weren't correct. Most did not indicate flats at all for that matter.
