I don't know the tying mechanics on the 9-5, but on my 99,900,9000s there was a front towing hook, and a rear. Actually I've had trailer hitches on most, so tie the rear there, and angled the rope to the towing hook off to the side on my 9000s. I feel a lot more secure with the tieing front and rear. Belt and suspenders. I've got 10s of thousands of miles under those belts and suspenders, and never a failure. Worth the effort.
I have friends who just use the straps, and am actually stunned that they've never lost a canoe or kayak. Just a matter of time methinks.
