First, you will need to install Trailer Wiring Harness # 118336 on your 2003 Honda Odyssey. I have incldued a link to the installation instructions and a link to a video showing a typical installation for you to view.
Since the boat trailer has a 5-Way flat connector, the 5th wire is probably for an electric reverse lockout. You will need to add 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter, # 20036. The additional blue wire will connect to the reverse light circuit behind one of the vehicle tail lights. I have included a video showing a typical installation of this adapter. You will need a circuit tester, like # PTW2993 if needed, to find the correct wire for reverse lights on the vehicle.
