Picked up 6 of these on clearance for 75 cents each. Other than outboard legs, what else can this be used in?

Mix it with used oil, melted wax and mineral spirits and you've got yourself some rustproofing undercoating.
 
Since its "marine" gear lube, it should have a better ability to emulsify water, which is a problem in outboards and stern drives.
This comes out to about 1.50 a quart, which is pretty cheap for marine gear oil.

Here is the glitch- AGMA 4 EP calls for "rapid water separation" . This is the opposite of what you want in a marine gear lube, and I have never heard of any AGMA-spec in marine applications until your post.
This link for a similar AGMA 4 EP product says "do not use where GL-5 gear lubes are specified". https://www.cenex.com/~/media/cenex/files/lubricants/agma%20ep/agma-ep_pds-e5-02.ashx

Some searching seems to show Unival is the house brand for Home Hardware in Canada.

Due to the above inconsistencies, I personally would not use this in any marine application , but in golf carts or industrial machinery not immersed in water it would seem to be ok.
 
Basically the moral of the story here is this: it's not a bargain if you don't need it or can't use it.
