Default First big tow

I am taking my boat for its first trip away from Winni to spend a week on Champlain.
This will be the first time I've trailered a boat with an engine > 25HP.
The boat is a 17ft alum. walk-thru w/115hp outboard. What do I need to do to protect the motor? Seems like letting it ride trimmed up or down could be a problem. Do I need a brace for the motor?
Any and all tips for the motor or towing in general are much appreciated!
