Well, you may have noticed that there is a front seat and a back seat. The back seat is located very far back in the stern of the canoe. The front seat is located far enough back from the bow to allow leg room in front of the seat.
Standard regimen when you're in a canoe alone is to sit in the bow seat, facing the stern- puts your weight closer to the center of the canoe.
IME, sitting in the front seat facing the stern, when you put your tackle up in front of you, and an anchor, etc, you'll balance pretty well. I'm sure if you put the trolling motor battery up towards the stern, you'll balance nicely.
