The operator of Vessel I set up his trolling motor on his canoe and then placed the battery behind his seat in the stern of the boat. He was paddling on the water for approximately fifteen minutes when the canoe began to sink due to having too much weight in the stern. The Meredith Fire Department was called to the scene and was able to get the operator out of the water and transported to the hospital where he was treated for hypothermia.
