NMEA 2000 is a very neat way to link your electronics and, if you have them, electronic engine controls. (Disclosure: I am a former member of NMEA). There is one long cable with terminations on each end, and everything Tees from it, including power. You can mount a Multiport box at each steering station, to handle the stuff there, and connect each box with 1 cable. Sensors are wired by daisy-chaining them, which takes less wire than wiring each to a central terminal block.

There are a couple of different sizes (mini, micro) of cables, for different needs.

This is not cheap, and requires NMEA 2000-compatible components, which in my case would mean "all new".

Maretron has a good design manual for NMEA cabling, featuring (of course) their stuff. Basically, you can buy it all to size and just install it, remembering to support the cables every 18".
