Get a (any) CAD program, there are lots of freeware and open source solutions. Download some and strt experimenting. It is hard to give general advice here, because it is not a matter of functionality (perhaps all will be able to do what you want) but a matter of personal taste. Use the one that "feels most comfortable in your hand".

Another possibility is to use HTML and some web services so you can link in all your documentation. Ever thought about some Wiki for that? It might not look all that flashy, but could integrate well the different bits of documentation into one well-organized form.

I hope this helps.
