Make yourself a excel spread sheet. Put every run, cable size and load at end. I also pyramid cable tags to be put later. I do one for ac. And one for DC, then match it to panels

Are you interested in "live" consumption (e.g. battery monitoring etc.) or predicted consumption?

For predicted consumption, I would follow mydauphin's advice. For "live" consumption, there are a range of solutions for ship-board "soft switches" which incorporate power monitoring. This kit, of course, requires power.
