New boater. Webasto central heating doesn't STAY on. Can't figure it out for the life of me.

So here is the deal, i'm new to boating (like 17 days), I have got this lovely narrowboat with a few radiators but I cant get any heat out of them and i'm not too sure why.

I have turned all the radiator valves on and bled them all.

I turn the central heating switch on with the controller. Makes good sounding noised for a couple mins then goes quiet until I try it again. Creating no hot water.
So i'm getting confused, I was told I have hot water via, Engine (no problems there), Heater, Immersion. Currently only getting hot after after cruising from the engine.
Also. When I try the central heating + the ON/OFF timer the inverter starts to beep at me.

So how can I get the heating to work?

Does my Inverter need to be off when central heating is ON? (Can i not watch TV and have heating?)

Does the central heating work only for radiators or is it hot water for a shower?

Why do the radiators not heat up?

Why does the heater turn itself off after a few mins?

  • Webasto Thermotop C 12V Diesel water heater in the engine bay.
  • Calorifer / water tank next to the engine bay.
  • 3 Radiators (Front, Middle, Back of boat).
  • Inverter Lvyvan 2000w Pure Sine.
