    It's not meant for those with a need to have a break controller. And, you must've tapped the wrong wire in the T12. (If you place the 12 gauge jumper in the T7)

    I figured out what the issue is. Your schematic sends constant power to the trailer brake pin. That's unfortunately not what I need. I need a functional trailer hookup that sends power to the aux pin.

    This could another solution:
    Remove Relay and place jumper with proper sized terminals and 10-12 awg wire and lower the circuit fuse amps. Also place a inline fuse to the T12 connector tap.

    I'm having a hard time finding the right size blades, they seem oversized?

    I added the towing breaks, all good, not I want to add a breakaway switch, battery powered, need the 12v from the 7way plug to charge the battery, no luck, the thing is dead, seems like I'm not the only one on this boat, any other idea what we. May be missing?

    Vehicle needs to have engine running to activate the IGN circuit that sends juice to the battery charge relay coil side.

    Verify this fuse:

    As in remove and test it with a MultiMeter, no just a glance.
    Is always "HOT", so careful or remove the negative terminal connector to the battery before testing.
