85 470, engine circulating pump leak - how to remove?

I noticed a quick drip leak at the base of the circulating pump, and the bolt right below the pump is pretty rusted, so it has been leaking for some years...

I took off the cover (which I resat earlier with gasket sealer, and it does not leak), then removed 9 bolts figuring the cover would pry off, but something is holding it down. In the manual, it refers to 9 bolts, but on some videos there are 10. For the life of me, I cannot locate the 10th bolt.

If there are supposed to be only 9 bolts, should the cover pop off pretty easily, is there some magical procedure to get it off?

Thanks in advance! I've been doing more learning and wrenching than boating, but I enjoy it and thank you all for your comments...hopefully a better fall.
