That would be a coarse one, Martin.
If the boat is as old as the engine, it may be UNF 5/16", but presumably Vic has checked with his thread gauge and calipers?

I was just describing a method as bolts might be easier to obtain.

They're M8 x 1.0. You may get one from a bearing supplier but they're not common things.

snipped-for-privacy@easynet.co.ukhttp://www.oldengine.org/members/dieselhttp://www.stationary-engine.co.ukhttp://www.oldengine.co.uk the boat is from 1986 and the plummer blocks are continental, I can't remember the maker without looking. defiantly 8mm and not coarse metric.
