Besides, if the cleat is not connected, any heavy seas or anybody going too fast when you're mooring could yank it off the deck.

On mine I have no cleat due to the anchor pulpit install I presume. Looks like at one point it did have one based on the shape of the rusty bracket. The bracket is removed leaving rusty glass now.
