anchor cleat mounting E 27

Hello, I have an E 27 and want to mount an anchor cleat/samson post of some sort on the bow deck. With a proper sized (12"?) backing plate underneath, is there any reason this area of deck could not handle that kind of strain? I was wondering if I would need to also run a cable or chain from the bottom side of the cleat to a mounting bracket down on the hull below to reinforce and make sure the deck doesnt pull off. Is that a concern, or would a 12" (+-) backing plate be plenty strong?

thanks
Kyle
