How to secure a tiller?

Howdy! I’ve got a 2025 Grizzly 1650 Prairie Wings with a 60HP Merc Tiller

How do I securing the motor to keep it from pivoting side to side while being trailered? I imagine I could throw a ratchet strap around the tiller handle but I worry I’ll tweak something and adjust the tiller friction lever doesn’t cut it

I’d appreciate any advice, thank you!!

How did I do? My trailer didn’t come with a winch post.

Does this look okay? I got this 12 ft Jon on what seems like a 10ft boat trailer cheap off Next Door. I don’t have anyone who knows anything about boats so I’m figuring it out myself. Next is replacing my transom and figuring out what’s wrong with the 7.5 hp 2 stroke.
