Just for information
Boat was using about a quart of antifreeze every 10 hours. The over flow bottle level did not change. Turned out rad cap had failed. Never seen one fail before.
 
That is why it's best to replace them every few years. Just like the T stats. It's amazing what a simple thing like a cap can cause so many problems.
