Ragged Island marker

Good Morning
I have a question concerning the marker on the South side of Ragged Island. It is a red/white marker which indicated an obstruction in the area. Now when approaching it from the South shouldn't it be passed on the left ? It would seem so but I idled past it one day recently and observed a large boulder under the surface which when the Lake is lower may cause interference.
That being said the right side of the marker is clear and is the correct way into the dock area.
So shouldn't that marker be painted white /black?? What I am getting at is with the current configuration an approaching boat coming from the South should pass to the left (West) of the marker. This may cause contact with that boulder !!
Am I off here ? Can someone clarify for me?
Thanks in advance
