Default mercury 525sc burning oil

hey guys got t-525sc's in my apache and port motor has been cutting out on me. I put fresh royal purple oil in it last weekend (2qts) to top it up. Had it out today and the motor quit on me completely. i pulled the dipstick and it was BONE DRY. Any ideas why its burning up the oil insanely fast?????

If a 525SC is using that much oil then there is major problem and you will probably need a full engine rebuild. Mine never used more than a qt every 25-30hrs and it had 475hrs on it.
