Amen to that! Somebody posted some pics here a couple of months ago showing a boat launched on road! The clutch/brake on my Powerwinch keeps mine secure, but my winch stand includes a safety chain snapped to bow eye just in case the winch fails, plus I used a big tie-down strap.
On the rollers rusting, the key is to use aluminum shafts and nylon bushings instead of steel in the rollers. My use is 100% saltwater and only problem I've had is with the mild steel retaining washers; coating 'em with waterproof grease helps a lot.
