From an instruction manual for a yacht, specifically the instructions for lowering the anchor:
"After the appropriate amount of chain has been lowered, set your anchor by ** “backing down” on the anchor** with the engines"
I think I know what it means but can't come up with a good rendition in Italian.
I appreciate your help!
