How do you crank and hold bike up?

Again I already own 2500lb winch. I also own boat winch if you had some kind of stand to keep bike up

Other problem with boat winch is how do you mount in a spot that allows you to crank even if not holding bike up?

Have you gotten your bike trailered up and brought home yet?
Somewhere, someone is telling his buddies "Look what I found laying on the side of the road!"

Anyway, if you don't have friends that you can count on to help in this situation, you should not be out riding around without some type of towing insurance.
