I take it you mean a screw? cos, a bolt is a thing with a nut!!
A screw, goes to thread, there are various capscews, hex, allen, slot, most common is hex, so whats is your diametre and thread, UNF, UNC, METRIC?. MATERIAL? ss, bronze, high tensile steel? Don't think a part number but think an engineering thing, ok )

You can have them made at a shop that makes propeller shafts for boats. They will have a way to cut the thread and have access to suitable metal. Some High Schools teach machine shop and they might be able to make some. Or check the phone book for industrial supply companies. They either have it or can tell you where to get them. The bottom line is that this is an item that is not specific to the boat and you just need to find or make a part with the correct thread and length. Just be sure to match the material that was used before.
Good luck,
