I have a boat at QYC and stay on it regularly over the weekends, so I'm certainly not looking to go through on plane. I take my time and slow down well before the NWZ marker by Line "A", because I hate getting rocked by a boat's wake (especially when the lake is calm). I might even yell out and ask people who are leaving a wake to slow down a little. Most people are nice about it and slow down.

But, I saw a boat going through the other evening that was stopped by the MP heading from BB towards the bridge apparently breaking the No Wake rule which got me thinking about where the confusion about where the No Wake Zone ends. This confusion is especially bad if you are heading West (toward BB) where you can't see the No Wake Zone marker until you round the corner.

Hence my poll. While the majority of people believe it begins at Line "A" or earlier, there are still a decent number of people who think it is closer towards the bridge.
