Default Red/White Marker Buoy - Revised Location

I sent the below email to NH Marine Patrol.

"I would like to report that I think the following red/white marker is out of position on Lake Winnipesaukee.
It is directly opposite the mouth of Twenty Mile Bay.

An older Bizer map has it positioned at the following approximate location:
N 43 39.813 W 71 17.858

My boat GPS has it positioned at the following approximate location:
N 43 39.815 W 71 17.885

I went by this marker a couple of nights ago and it appeared much closer to me than I thought it should have been which prompted me to look at it closely this afternoon. It appears to be perhaps as much as 180 feet too far west."

Here's what Marine Patrol told me:
"The marker is currently in the correct position. It was, however, moved westward to its current position a couple of years ago."

There's a shallow area near the buoy but no rocks. BUT, if you are using a plotter with an older chip, be aware that the buoy may not be where you think it is.

I have also informed Bizer.
