Without a map and on a NH lake that was new to me, I discovered a rule of thumb with markers in general. Stay 150' from shore and 150' from EVERY marker and you won't have a problem. When you're in a tight spot where there's any question, proceed slowly like Phantom says.
I found the marking system is fairly intuitive even on a lake without the visual reference points of Winni's mountains. For sure, you'll want a $10 map when boating any place north of Cow Island.
