Back down with the windlass or the snubber?
Conundrum: We usually let out 2/3 or so of our ultimate scope and set the anchor. Then we let out the full amount and give one more tug. Then we attach the bridle and let out the 12' or so needed to position the bridle below the waterline. So here's the question: Should I be backing down (twice) on the windlass or somehow back down on the snubber only? It would be a huge PIA to put the snubber on 3x to do our current procedure. I should point out that we have an all-chain rode.

What to you folks do?
