Not part of your question - but if it's at all helpful or you may not be aware -

Finrads are great if they're properly sized. Their heat transfer relies on a metal plate in front of the tube in order to act as a heat sink. They work beautifully in my Lounge at home where there is a long pipe run, but in the smaller rooms, they're not very effective. I considered them when I built the boat but the figures didn't work out - especially as The Management requires a cool bedroom, so I ended up with separately controllable panel rads: instead. If you're feeding them from a Webasto / eber: / whatever, you need a heat reservoir to reduce the boiler cycling.

Apologies for unrequested information....

Yep, tried yacht boat parts but they have no stock nor can they get any. Same goes for all the other online chandlers I've tried.  

Oh that’s a shame, was going to get mine there. :(  if you find a supplier please update us!
