Authorized Dealer, Factory-Trained Team
Scarano Marine was founded in 2007 by Adolfo Scarano, a marine engineer and former Merchant Navy chief engineer with 20 years at an MTU distributor and factory certifications from MTU headquarters in Friedrichshafen and Detroit Diesel headquarters in Michigan. About 90% of our technician hours across both locations go toward MAN engines specifically, and our team is trained to catch problems by feel and sound before an instrument confirms them.

Milestone Maintenance: M1–M6, 400-Hour, 1,000-Hour and 2,000-Hour Services
MAN’s factory maintenance schedule isn’t a suggestion — it’s the blueprint the warranty is written against. Our Fort Lauderdale team performs the full milestone sequence dockside: 400-hour mid-tier services, full 1,000-hour services including cooling system teardown, heat exchanger and intercooler cleaning, valve clearance adjustments, and fuel system service, and 2,000-hour major overhauls. Every milestone service is completed strictly to the manufacturer’s specification, closed out with factory diagnostics, and documented rigorously — valve tolerances, cooling pressure tests, and fault history included.
That documentation discipline matters more than most owners realize. If a major failure ever puts your maintenance history in front of a warranty adjudicator or insurance surveyor, a service record built to factory blueprint leaves nothing to dispute. It’s why warranty-conscious captains and commercial operators keep coming back.
Real Work, Real Engines
Our Fort Lauderdale team recently ran a sea trial on a 55′ Azimut with twin MAN i6-850s, logging fuel burn across the full range — from roughly 5–7 gph trolling up to the low 40s gph per engine at wide-open throttle. That kind of data helps an owner actually plan a trip, not just guess at range.
On a 44′ Riva out of the Fort Lauderdale/Dania Beach area, a cracked coolant-cooled turbocharger housing on a MAN R6-800 first showed up as a coolant expansion tank pressure alarm — a subtle early signal that’s easy to miss unless you know exactly what you’re looking at. Catching it early is what keeps a warning light from becoming a stranded vessel.
