Steve,

It was a faultly unit from the factory. I hesitate the name the factory on
the list because it could cause tempers to flair and I would like to avoid
that.  I will respond directly or by phone.  I sent the unit back and it was
sent back no charge and I have not had a problem since.

My autotrim did not have a disconnect switch so the only was to disconnect
the autotrim was to disconnect the autopilot or pull the breaker on the
autopilot.  I would advise to be able to have a discrete switch to disable
the autotrim and not the autopilot.  If I was IMC when my event happened
without a means to disable the autotrim, I wonder what the result would have
been.
