ATF level is correct now and haven't had an issue. This includes pulling my boat on a hot day.
Probably going to have the local transmission shop change the filter and do a complete flush.

Good to hear....BUT I would forget about having them change out the "filter", there is no filter, there is however a metal "screen", everyone who pulled the pan to change the filter found that screen not clogged whatsoever so no need to change it, also with the V6 it pretty easy to pull the transmission pan and put it back on, but with the V8 the exhaust has to be taken apart to get the transmission pan off causing the labor to be much more and you will risk having an exhaust leak if not put back together correctly which will throw another code!!
Just do a complete fluid "exchange", Do Not do a complete "flush" which is done using pressure which could cause any possible deposits to dislodge and clog any number of the very small passageways in the transmission and or valve body, new fluid will not dislodge any of these possible deposits but instead will dissolve them and not cause any issues.
