Sacrificial anode for saildrive propellers
Well, now it comes out that the 3 parts actually come WITH 3 Allen screws! But that's all positive.
What is absolutely incomprehensible is the fact that the 3 parts have no dimensional accuracy and do NOT fit completely into the propeller groove, so they protrude approx. 2 to 3mm around the entire circumference. That hasn't happened before! Certainly not a good feature for sailors with regatta ambitions (to win). The product should be exchanged or removed from sale. Does the manufacturer have no service?
I can't enter anything in the question line about my yacht shipyard because ETAP and 30i are not provided.

Manufacturer tolerances
After years I needed new propeller anodes made of Mg for my Etap30i Saildrive. I was somewhat surprised to find them after a considerable amount of searching (due to different names for sacrificial anodes on the SVB website). After dismantling the worn remnants of the propeller shaft and removing the oxide residue, I now found that the outer diameter is approx. 2.5 mm larger than the outer diameter of the saildrive. And now? Should I also grind off the expensive magnesium now? You should definitely expect dimensional accuracy in a professional online trade!
By the way, 3 stainless steel screws are included in the year 202324!
Another thing, there used to be a shipyard called Etap, the boats can still be clearly seen on the water, so why can't you choose Etap??

Not the originals
There is a 5mm gap between the screwed-on sacrificial anodes. The originals are a little longer and I would have preferred them. Barnacles can now settle there.
Misleading info, wrong product description
I ordered earlier this anode type for a 3 blade folding propeller for Bavaria 31 cruiser boat. I thought same will come but I received a Made in China product (Made in Italy in the ad) for a bigger boat it says for D2-55A etc. No real customer support despite several emails sent before ordering.. Could have avoided this situation if customer service was in place...

Does not fit 3-Prop!
Large gaps, doesn't lie fully, sticks out.

Bad fit
Very bad fit to Volvo's 3 bladed propeller hub. the three sections together are not circle round but more "triangular". A lot of the Zink mass sticks out of the propeller hub and will cause frictionturbolans and bad protection for propeller hub
