Is there some form of slippage or clutch to allow the motor to continue to spin when the actuator hits either limit? Reason I ask is I don't use the trim indicator. I just turn around and when the horizontal stops moving I release the button.

Re: Intermittent Electric Trim Actuator
The ball screw just freewheels at each end of the range of motion, there is no clutch. When the actuator hits the end of its range of motion it simply stops extending/retracting while the motor keeps spinning at the same RPM.
