For a 3500 lb Electric Jack, I recommend the Bulldog Powered-Drive Trailer Jack - Drop Leg - A-Frame - 14" Lift - 3,500 lbs - Black # BD500187. This jack uses a 12 volt system, so it is compatible with your 7-way although a battery is always a better option like # 20099.

To use the 7-way, this can be done by splicing into the trailer harness wiring or using a junction box like # 38656. If you want the juction box and 7 way you can use # HS381-9000. Whether you choose to splice into the 7 way wire directly or use a junction box, I have attached a photo that shows the position of the 12 volt power pin on the 7-way connector as well as the other functions to help. The black wire from the jack will connect to the 12V power pin location and the jack will ground through the attachment to the trailer frame as the other wiring should already have a good ground to your trailer frame.
