[C320-list] Engine coolant

[Warren Updike]

Since the coolant expands when heated, it should be at about the upper mark
when hot and the lower level when cool.  As long as there is any in the
overflow bottle the engine should be full.  If you need to add some, you can
add it to the overflow bottle.

I have a Yanmar 3GM30F in my 2002 Catalina 320.  I noticed today that the
level of the coolant in the overflow tank was just above the low mark.
 Opened the coolant cap and it seemed full enough, but I was wondering----is
this a level I should watch or be concerned about.  Should the overflow tank
by more full?

Am relatively new to the discussion list.  It's been a terrific educational
resource.  Thanks to all!
