in addition to cinching the cart to the kayak at the bulkhead, two
small-diameter lines affixed to the ends of the longitudinal member and
tied off fore and aft (grab loop and coaming/padeye/etc) should prevent
fore/aft slippage.  No muss and fuss with coatings, lightweight, and
occupies little space - though you might have to learn a tautline hitch
or some similar knot.
