Quick Start
Welcome to Buster Q!
To facilitate a new way of boating, Buster Boats has com-
pletely rethought the way you interact with the boat.
Inspired by the automotive and smartdevice industries, we
have taken all key functions and integrated them into one
huge touchscreen.
We also enhanced entertainment, safety and training func-
tions, bringing them into the realm of one intuitive user
experience – Buster Q.
Tip: By default Q shuts down when you turn off the engine.To continue use,
just tap on screen during the shutdown process and Q will stay on.
