Thanks for the input. I am the heavy passenger.  So no problem.  The battery has been moved.  The cause is the fact that I installed a TSIO550 with a three bladed prop.  It is about 72lbs.  I did not move the engine back.  I have a standard 550 engine mount.

What Greyhawk said. The standard "fix" for a forward CG is to move the battery aft, but before the community here can offer any suggestions, we'd need to know more.

I just completed the W&B on my L-235 and the CG will be at the forward limit (or beyond) with a full header tank, empty wing tanks, no baggage, and a lightweight pilot. (With me in the plane there's no problem.) The thing is, anything I put in my plane will move the CG aft. If I ever intend to carry a passenger and more fuel, it's prudent to start out with a forward CG. (Thanks to all the folks who talked me out of moving the battery aft! Anybody want to buy 25' of brand new 2/0 welding cable?)

Gil,
 
How much is it nose heavy.  LNC2's flight regimes tend to favor fwd CG, depending on configuration.  Perhaps you could list your "options" and W&B info...... i.e. how did it get the way it is?
 
Otherwise, always take a heavy passenger along.
