FG Knot This video helped me the most. I'm 69 can't see very well and have fumble fingers but I'm able to follow these instructions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPTzkep9xlI&t=178s

I fished these baits extensively last year. They are not a replacement for the Baby 1 Minus. They run from about 1 to 3 feet deep, depending on if you hold your rod tip up or down. What makes these so good is that you can burn them as fast as possible, and they maintain their depth and posture. They are great for fishing over grass beds and shallow flats. However, they are not very good if you run them into the grass. Grass tends to hang between the lip and hook tie; if you hit grass, that's most likely the end of that cast. I fished them using a burn-pause pattern, and most strikes came on the pause. They were also good for bass chasing shad on the surface. You can often see them, but they won't hit topwaters. All in all, they are a great bait that produced really well for me.

I fish a highly pressured small public lake and the Tiny Blitz almost always produces. I saw Steve Rogers YouTube video about speed cranking small crankbaits and it works great with the Tiny Blitz. The Tiny Blitz DR in chartreuse black back is really good on this lake. You usually have to tune them for speed cranking but once tuned they are great. Burn Burn Pause.

Could be the cradle. I had to replace the cradle on my 93SV because of intermittent temperature reading failure. New cradle is a different design. It is much easier to mount the unit to the new cradle.

I fished out of the 285fpb for 3 years. No real complaints understanding that every boat represents a compromise of some sort. It was very good at its intended use. You probably want to get the Sea Eagle EZ Cart, its was too big and heavy for me to move very far by myself. I also added an adjustable pedestal to give me more comfortable seating position. All and all a very stable and comfortable fishing experience.

I can't speak to the STS10 but I fished out of a Sea Eagle 285fpb frameless pontoon for 2 years. Having to always be frugal with money, every boat I've ever owned has been a compromise of some sort. With that said the Sea Eagle came as close to fulfilling it purpose as any boat I've owned and I've owned quite a few. 15 minutes to set up which included trolling motor and sonar. 10 minutes to break down. I live in a condo and it fit easily in my storage space and the back of my SUV. If you get one be sure to get an electric air pump. Check Amazon for the air pump, I found the same pump which was offered by Sea Eagle for a much better price.

Been getting good results fishing both the Baby D Bomb and Baby D Stroyer on the Free Rig. Super Bug and Green Pumpkin Flash colors on 1/4 oz weight and 3/0 Gamakatsu EWG

I don't know about the Amped Outdoors batteries but I've been running a Lithium Hub Ionic 100 ah for two years. The Lithium Hubs have Bluetooth connectivity to a phone app. You have constant real time battery info. https://lithiumhub.com/ I'ts been a game changer for me. I fish a small boat on electric only lakes and it may seem to be overkill, but never having worry about battery life is great. At age 65 having a 28 lb battery is so much easier to manage.

I have a Lithium Hub Ionic battery which I am charging with a Noco Genius. The charger always starts on one bar. The Ionic battery has Bluetooth connectivity with a phone app, you are able to get continuous readout on the status of the battery in great detail. I am able to get the exact charge status, even when only 10% discharged the NoCo starts on one bar. I would assume your battery would be the same.
