Good Afternoon,
I have a 2014 Yamaha VF 200 SHO. In the attached picture is the location of a bolt that I believe holds a ground wire. The head of the bolt sheared off and the wire became loose. I am hoping someone with the same engine can tell me what size/thread the bolt is, the type of head and the length. I can tell you it is bigger than a #10 and also larger than an M5 (I'm not sure if it's standard are metric) It is also smaller than 1/4".
Thank you for the help..

Definitely metric.
Not a bolt. A grease nipple.
Thank you so much. That's why I couldn't find a bolt to fit the hole. Used an drill and extractor to remove it, but thought it was awfully short.
UPDATE: Just in case someone else runs into this problem, it is a 6MM Grease Zerk that you can get at Auto parts store. See the picture below.
Thank you again

How did it get sheared off?
The transom saver I have (like the picture below) was put on too tight. My buddy was trying to help and he put the PVC part up too high and that sheared it off.

Not the first sheared fitting. Won't be the last.
It’s the first one in 10 years so I guess I’m doing good
