Dave - I have a very heavy motor on my transom so I moved my single battery to the console. I was shocked how much a difference it made.

Other than building a higher spashwell wall, I think the batteries being moved is your best bet.

You can test the weight shift before you do it. Mark the transom waterline with a grease pencil then park at a float, disconnect the batteries and put them on either side of the console and then look at the transom while standing on the float. 20 minutes to ensure it will really help.
