The three lug clutch dog was the final fix for the 25/35 motor gearcases for jumping out of gear. The third lug did spread the load over all three lugs. There is a kit for older 25s, but it is expensive! You can make the special tool for loading the propshaft in the gearcase with an old clutch dog and piece of tubing. Actually works better than the special tool of old (plastic).
BTW: If I remember correctly the V-4/V-6 clutch dog orientation is with the grove toward the reverse gear. Good old OMC/BRP always did want to keep things consistent. And that one did make a difference!
