Too bad more places that sell marine supplies don't put up public service displays to raise general awareness of the basic legal requirements.

A defunct boater's association was big on getting the word out, posting no wake signs and providing 150' bouys just outside of public docks so boaters will know just how far 150' is. Unfortunately the 'safety nazis' do not see the need for education.
Ever been to Lake George? It's been a while but at the time every launch ramp post the major rules and regulations of the lake. It also continues to the public docks and marinas along the lake, almost George Orwellian.
