I spent about 15 minutes surveying this area on Friday. I suspect, with the exception of the Mount Washington, that this marker is benign. Between the marker and Treasurer island, the bottom comes up to about 10 feet with a few places under eight feet deep. I found nothing that would affect any other boat. Just to be safe, stay southeast of this buoy.
There are several, "Mount Washington" buoys on the lake. Those buoys, which are along the Mount's normal route, mark items solely for the Mount. The two buoys south of Diamond Island come to mind as does light #1 northeast of Weirs. Southeast of buoy #1, the bottom is sandy and about eight feet deep. Boats (with the exception of the Mount) can easily pass southeast of this buoy.
