HI Might want to check the freeze plugs on the heat exchanger as mine had a slow leak for a year before I found it.If the whole freeze plug comes out you would definitely loose a lot of fluid in short time if you were  running at the time .Those plugs are underneath the heat exchanger and hard to see  I have 100 h p yanmar1995. Good Luck

While underway tonight, our engine temp buzzer came on. We shut down the engine immediately, opened engine compartment and noticed all the radiator fluid was pooled on the bottom of the hull. Anyone experience this or have any ideas on where to start troubleshooting?
Thank you,

If you have a buss heater located under the steps going forward to the
stateroom, Check there. That radiator can fail and leak ALL the coolant
into the bilge.
