David,
I couldn't see much either ... but what do you need to see? We saw that the Spade anchor set immediately and burried completely. Also it was obvious that there was no anchor movement up to and at full power. What more would you like to see?

However one could ask what the stern pull showed that the bow pull didn't? One would probably need several hundred hp to possibly pull this anchor out so like Steve said in the first place .. "anchor setting vids". And setting probably is more important information than holding power. Most all of us anchor in such benign conditions that it dosn't matter the holding power. But anchors that don't set is a concern for most everybody.

So even w limited power everything we need (or would like) to know about setting is clearly presented. However for anchors larger than 45lbs it would probably be netter to have more rode pull availible to fully set the anchors. I'm looking fwd to bringing several anchors to Steve to reveal what they actually do down there.
