Shell Rotella 15W40 is very good choice.

Anyone know the difference between regular 15W-40 and marine specific 15W-40?

I think the main difference is price.
You got EXPERT advice from Larry and since he posted this info a few years ago, I haven't used anything else.
Thanks, Larry, for again chiming in!

From the owners manual.
Indmar recommends 15W-40 Pennzoil Marine in their engines.
If not available, use a 15W40 motor oil with an A.P.I. classification
rating of SL/SJ/CI4/CH4/CG4 or equivalent. Synthetic oils are
not recommended until after the engine has been run for 100
