A circle marker is a symbol on a regulatory marker that is used to mark a no wake or idle speed area.
An orange circle is used to mark a no wake or idle speed zone.
A circle. The circle stands for a controlled area which means that there are rules to follow. in this case it would mean slowing down the slowest speed while maintaining steering control.

All vessels operating within the no wake area shall be operated at idle speed. "Idle speed" shall mean the lowest speed at which a vessel can operate, maintain safe steerage, and minimize the production of a wake that could unreasonably interfere with or endanger other persons, property, or water-borne vessels.
I had a friend get a ticket for "no wake" or "idle speed" in Virginia. He was told that Idle Speed is the slowest speed that you can go and maintain control of the boat. I guess if you have an steamship, you can go a little faster than a 14 foot Jon boat.
It is essentially the same as headway speed, or "no wake" speed. The minimum speed necessary to maintain forward motion and steering control.
A wave. Mostly called wake, wich is what a series of waves is called from a boat.
50 feet
