I use a PCMO in our boats so I can't imagine it would be too awful, probably no different than using an HDEO.
Based on that label and complete lack of any specs or approvals I don’t think I’d use that oil in anything, marine or terrestrial.
Edit- I guess it does have some sort of marine certification, maybe. Even that’s a bit unclear.

Plus it's the "Most Recommended OEM Marine Engine Oil." Lol.
"Twist the cap to break tamper proof band and access FunLPro hose. Grab and pull vertically on FunLPro hose until firm resistance is felt. Place FunLPro pouring hose in to desired destination and evacuate fluids."I'm aboard! How 'bout that built in pouring spout?
It doesn't get any better than that.
Apparently, it does get better..."If repeat use is desired"...this oil must magically refill when the FunLPro hose is collapsed!!!
OP, I wouldn't recommend this based on the missing approvals/specs.
Edit - Oddly enough, I don't see this brand listed on the current NMMA list that the label says both it "exceeds" and at the bottom claims to be "Certified"

They use several ASTM standards plus an NMMA corrosion test and outboard motor tests …
Your label notes the Cats meow version
Seems OK for OPE with a 3.3 HTHS spec ~
Have you ever tried pouring oil into a marine engine?I'm aboard! How 'bout that built in pouring spout?
No
No PCMO specs. No thanks. Like said, might be OK for OPE.
Only while standing on the ground with the fill hole at eye level.
Try with an inboard it standing on you head!Only while standing on the ground with the fill hole at eye level.
