Any freeware/shareware or affordable software for boat wiring?

I have a technician helping me, but need some way to back n forth the communication as he is sailing.

Thanks for any.
 
If you are just thinking line and block schematics, I have used Visio for that. There may be freeware clone out there, google turns up several but I don't know about the electrical widget extensions.

If you are looking for actual cable runs or PCBs you will need something like a 3-D CAD program or a specific PCB design software. A quick Google turns up CircuitMaker as a free maker tool, but I've never used it.
 
I am trying to communicate dc boat wiring between me and a technician.

We have a physical layout and I need to translate it into a diagram is all.

Maybe I will give Visio a go.
