Default drive dog

I was driving my super vee 27 all nicely until suddenly it stopped. I the drive dog broke. Luckily I could stil partially drive and bring it in. What size drive dog do I need because I want a metal one so it doesn't break again? I think I need a 3/16" but I am not 100% sure.

Here's a video

Ok, thanks.  There are 2 on offshore electrics.  I don't know which one to get.

<font size="2" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Octura 3/16" drive dog with a 5/16" outer diameter.</font>
or
<font size="2" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Octura 3/16" large drive dog with a 3/8" outer diameter</font>

I am using the stock prop.

No, it wasnt wot, it was more like 3/4 maybe a little less. Just before it broke I gunned it and then it broke. I am using the stock prop and why ditch the batteries? I only used them 4 times and they were expensive.
