Default Kayak stability

Does the final stability of a kayak depend on how much forward
propulsion the boat is undergoing, all things being equal. In other
words if edging a boat dead still on flat water gets me to the edge of
the combing before the boat wants to capsize, will the same boat
permit further edging when it's underway? A bicycle heeled over at
speed is stable and unstable heeled at rest. While a kayak does not
experience centrifugal forces, does the hydrolic surge force of
propulsion provide a similar effect?
