Both lines should go all the way to the > boat from the bumper. My understanding is that they are auxilary - just to prevent the boat from complete flying off the roof. Lateral shift is effectively blocked by other means, like 2 pairs of saddles or rollers(they also block vertical shift, so tie-ups are again auxilary). Of course, there is no such thing as too much tie-ups (provided they are not damaging the hull).
