Is there any reason to have them in the cabin at all? Are there
approved clocks that can survive being in the engine compartment? Even
renters only look at them before each flight, right?

Did a pre-buy on a Seminole one time that had 2 recording tachs and 2
independent aircraft hour meters. It had been used at a flight school,
all the "recording" devices had been changed multiple times.

Also, the maintenance records had random references to any/all of
them.

Probably one of the worst sets of logs that I've ever had to dig
through...
