You have to read all of the instructions

Your supposed to tie and the front and back of your boat down to the bumpers.

So if the cross-member J hook wasn't installed properly or has become loose or rusted, you wont have a calamity on your way to the launch.

So its ok to tie the straps just to J mounts-- in fact there are guides to hold the straps.
