Boat schematics

I'm studying up on boats as I intend to buy my first boat in the fall when people are trying to sell theirs more cheaply. I have an electrical background, but I know nothing of boats and their wiring. I hear that boat wiring follows a color code, but I would like to see an actual schematic to get a better idea of how everything works and how best to wire in accessories. (strip and deck lighting, 2nd battery switch, etc.....) Where can I get a look at a free example of a boat wiring schematic.

Can't help with a boat wiring diagram, but here is a link to Marine Wiring Color Code.
