Expert Reply:

You can use the 12V circuit on your 7-Way to power the Electric Jack w/ Footplate # EJ-3520-BBX but it is usually best to use a separate 12V battery that is stored on your trailer. Reason being that sometimes the trailer jack needs more power than the 12V wire from your tow vehicle can deliver.

Is it possible, yes, but if that isn't enough power you will need to add a battery to your trailer.

We do have the Buyers Products Jack # 3370093500 which you can plug right in to your 7-Way for power. This eliminates the need to do any splicing and it has the same weight rating as the jack that you initially referenced.
