I don't think it's tape. But on a black top spar, about the top two feet are black and the rest is white. On a red top, the top two feet are red, then there is a narrow (maybe 2") white strip, then a narrow red stripe (2" again) then the rest is all white. I just looked through all my lake pictures but could not find one. As far as I know this only applies to the round plastic spars, I don't remember the stripe on the old wooden ones.

The marker is a lone black spar SE of Treasure. If you're leaving the popular sandbar or West Alton Marina and headed due east towards Moose Island, the safe side of the marker should be the north but it's not. Plus the spar is quite a ways off Treasure, so it's not always obvious that going between the marker and shore is the wrong path. If you're traveling north from Minge Cove, then you pass east of the black spar as you would expect.
