In short use common sense....

Are you saying 'slow down' within 150' of other boats, or 150' of the marker? I am assuming you mean other boats.

There is no requirement to keep 150-feet from navigation markers; however, depending on the marker's location, there'll be somebody fishing within those 150-feet!

I used to hang around there a lot. I can't count he times I have seen boats clear the bridge and throttle up immediately, heading toward the Witches or into the bay. It's almost funny when the MP is waiting just down the beach, keeping an eye on things, and flags down the rocketeer.
