I lower the anchor and back away slowly paying out rode. At the appropriate scope I stop paying out and gently set the hook. Then I attach the bridal and put the load on the cleats and back down pretty hard to set the anchor. I aim for 800 rpm in reverse for aa protected place and set it to 1,000 if it is more exposed.. I do not put any lod on the winch when setting the anchor.
