About Me

Charging Systems.  Installation of the latest in battery and charging technology.  I use my years of experience to integrate new Victron Energy equipment and lithium batteries into your existing electrical system.

I will install powerful new solar panels, and controllers to almost eliminate generator run time.

And the latest in alternator charging regulation by Wakespeed, to round out your new power system.

 

Last fall Niccole and I sold our house in Sudden Valley and moved back to Anacortes to run our growing home staging and design business.  We started the business in 2023 and never looked back.  It’s a much-needed service in the area and we could not be more thrilled with the response from realtors, and home sellers, to our high quality, professional staging services.  Center Stage Home Design also makes great use of the building we own on T Avenue in Anacortes.  Right now, we are only making use of the warehouse space, but projects are underway to renovate the office and loft space to make room for a growing design business.

What about ROVANG MARINE?

With almost 20 years of electrical experience working on yachts in Anacortes I am not quite ready to give up my passion for boat work.  I have been doing some consulting with customers who are contemplating the big switch to lithium batteries.  Even though in most cases I have turned down taking on the project myself, I have done a few jobs from start to finish just to stay in practice.

Stay tuned! To create interest and get known outside of my small circle I will be adding to my YouTube channel, Instagram, and start updating my blog frequently.  With help and encouragement from my wife I just might be able to make it to 30 years in the marine repair business.  Even if it means not doing all the crimping, drilling and lifting myself.

 

 

I started sailing in the San Juans when I was in high school with my Dad aboard my Balboa 21.  Growing up in Portland sailing on the Columbia and Willamette rivers was wonderful, but the highlight of my year was always getting to go cruising in Washington and British Columbia.

Later we spent many years charting larger boats out of Anacortes through Anacortes Yacht Charters.  From 1997 to 2010 we took many memorable trips up through the Canadian Gulf Island.  Not only did we make fantastic memories, I also loved the experience of cruising on many different boats: 37 Lord Nelson, 42 Nordic Tug (one of the first built 42-002) 37 Nordic Tugs, 37 Pacific Trawler, and 34 American Tug.

In 2005 I decided to move to the place I loved to vacation and work on boats full time.  I started out at Pacific Mariner in LaConner where I worked as an electrician on the 85 line.  This helped me settled on Marine Electrical as my true passion.  By spring of 2006 I was in business as ROVANG MARINE.  I completed my ABYC certification shortly after, and was warmly welcomed by the boating community in Anacortes.
