No! I hope I never have an inboard, although if we ever get a cabin cruiser which we'd like I guess I'll have to live with it.
Boat oil used as PCMO?

Send off a VOA. That will tell you.
FC-W oils have been discussed in length on BITOG for years. It is the standard certification for four stroke marine use. Just as TC-W is used to indicate two stroke marine use. Yamalube has used that certification on many of their oils. I would say you got a bargain and I would have no issue at all running it in any motor vehicle. One of the advantages of this oil is it will not thin out as much as an automotive of the same viscosity. Providing of course it's within the same parameters of heat and rpm conditions.
Here is one of many threads on this oil:

cheaper FC-W oil
I service my cousins Yamaha 60 hp 4 stroke, and we were both saying that Yamalube 10W30 seems expensive, at $10 a quart. Do they have any FC-W rated 10W30 and 10W40 oils out there a little bit cheaper? $10 a quart for non synthetic is a tad bit expensive. The motor is 10 years old with only 98...

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"
Certification - FC-W(CAT)

yeah, I would not use that in a vehicle. Maybe a lawnmower
