I recall a few of years ago I was on a freinds boat on Lake Michigan Salmon fishing we were trolling out about 25 miles he has top of the line Radar, Gps, Depthfinders, Autopilot ETC, while trolling we came across one of those Lifeguard stations just barely floating beneath the surface, The large wooden structure did not show up on any of the electronic equipment, fourtunatly we were still watching where we were going if we had not been paying attention we would have hit it at trolling speed there probably would not have been much damage but at high speed well who knows, We called the Coast Guard gave then the coords and they came out and picked it up.
