1) remove anchor from compartment
2) unwind rope to approximate depth
3) toss in water
4) attach rope to BOW cleat when it catches

Thas what i would do... http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif
Bow cleat is key word... anchor on the stern and it might get interesting.
The bigger the boat and higher wind the more rope you need to let out. I have let out 50-60' of rope to hold me in 15' of water with a 2-3' footers. Also make sure you tie off on the bow not the stern.
I would also use a fluke anchor not one of those round river anchors. Those don't hold worth crap unless you have a pile of rocks to anchor too. It is also up to you if you want to use a chain from the anchor to the rope. Some do to get the anchor to set but if you just let out enough rope it will set and you don't need a chain.
The rule of thumb when using a "fluke" style anchor is you need three times a much rope out as the water is deep. E.G. 15' deep...you need 45' of rope.
You are right the trick is to put out at least 3 times the water depth in anchor line
and 3 to 4 feet of galvinized chain or you can buy rubber coated chain, easier on gelcoat,will really help the anchor settle in. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/smile.gif
