I would replace it all with THHN wire. I rewired my boat when i replaced all the wood and it took about 2 hours. I bundled all the wires in a plastic gas line so that they could be replaced easily if needed. Remember to allow a lot of room to pull new wires through if needed. Solder and heat shrink EVERYTHING. Splice caps are prone to corrosion. I ran both depth finders, the boat switch panel, and a 12v cigarette lighter socket to a bus bar connected to the battery. This alone cleaned up most of the stray wires I had in my boat from the previous owner.
