Sounds like you need more weight forward, but first check to make sure your motor is not pointed downward relative to waterline � check with kayak fully loaded. Next try moving your 12v battery to the front hatch. If it�s already there, and you have the room and weight capacity, add more weight by using two 6v golf cart batteries in series... as a bonus you�ll get double the runtime.

BTW, for displacement speeds, the canoe comes very close to the ideal hull shape for electric propulsion.
