Thermostat was changed in the replacement engine? Water pump ok? Cooling fans working? No transmission codes?

Towing anything can be a strain on a engine and transmission, If you go up hills with towing the boat use a lower gear so the engine does not work as hard, When you put a new radiator in did you change the thermastat. Some mechanics advise to change it when ever you drain coolant out of the engine and radiator.
