Yup, I had one of those flush mount cleats on a Chaparral come unbolted from the back side. With the flush mount cleats, there is enough play that you don't realize that one bolt is off until the 2nd one comes off and your boat is floating away. It's kind of a catastrophic failure that is hard to guard against unless you quad tie the boat every time.
