Quick answer: Scarano Marine provides factory-authorized MAN marine engine service throughout South Florida and beyond — warranty repair and commissioning, milestone maintenance, repowers, overhauls, and dockside diagnostics on the official MAN factory diagnostic system. Roughly 90% of our technicians’ hours are spent on MAN engines, across the full range from the i6 to the V12X-2200.
MAN Is Not a Sideline Here — It’s the Specialty
Plenty of shops list MAN among a dozen brands they’ll work on. At Scarano Marine, MAN engines are where our technicians spend roughly 90% of their working hours — which means the technician who steps aboard has almost certainly serviced your exact engine model, and very likely diagnosed your exact fault, before. Founded in 2007 by Adolfo Scarano, a marine engineer and former Merchant Navy chief engineer, we hold authorized MAN dealer status with MAN factory certified technicians, genuine OEM parts, direct manufacturer technical support, and the official MAN factory diagnostic system (MAN-cats) — the same hardware and software MAN’s own engineers use.
Every MAN Marine Engine, Pleasure and Commercial
We service the full MAN marine range: the i6 and R6 inline-six series, the V8-1000, V8-1200, and V8-1300, and the V12 series — V12-1400, V12-1550, V12-1650, V12-1800, V12-1900, V12-2000, and V12X-2200 — plus MAN’s commercial platforms, including the D2676 and D2868 that power workboats and tugs. For the complete engine lineups, see our MAN pleasure craft engines and MAN commercial engines pages. Genuine MAN engines and parts are also available through our Miami walk-in parts counter and online store.

The Work That Proves It
At Safe Harbor Rybovich in West Palm Beach, our team repowered a 95′ Princess with a MAN V12-2000. On the Miami River, we replaced a seized V12-1800 on a 72′ motoryacht after another shop misdiagnosed coolant intrusion — and at RMK Merrill-Stevens and Norseman Shipbuilding, we’re the team yards regularly bring in for the MAN side of major repower projects. In Fort Lauderdale, our technicians are regulars at Safe Harbor Lauderdale Marine Center, servicing MAN-powered vessels throughout the yard. We maintain three Miami-Dade Fire Rescue boats with MAN V8-1200s as an authorized county vendor, and our warranty work has reached as far as a 67′ Steeler in St. Maarten, where we replaced an i6-850 raw water pump under MAN warranty. Different vessels, different engines, same standard.
Dockside, Everywhere You Run
All service is mobile — our technicians come to your vessel at marinas, boatyards, and private docks. Coverage runs from Miami and Fort Lauderdale up the Palm Beach, Jupiter and Stuart corridor, down the Florida Keys, and internationally across the Bahamas and Caribbean and Central and South America. Both locations run a 24/7 emergency line.
