Thanks for the input folks. Looks like lots of approaches out there. I did find an interesting free package called Scheme-it
http://www.digikey.com/schemeit/# It's a web-based package that looks to be useful for harness design. Played with it a bit. Need to explore it more.
There is another freebie, DraftSight from Dassault Systemes, that provides an AutoCAD Basic-like capability.

Creative!

This is kind of where I'm headed at this point. Trying to eat the elephant one bite at a time. Just working on primary power distribution and major functional blocks. So back to the Ticonderoga 2 and the Pink Pearl until I make some more progress.
