Need help-trailer lights

Hi everybody. I just got a boat, but I can't take it anywhere because my trailer lights aren't working properly. I know it's not the trailer (worked fine on friends vehicle). All the lights work (blinkers, brakes) except for the running lights. I wanted to check the fuse first, so I pulled the cover off the panel and don't know where to start. I was hoping to find an index identifying the fuses, but there isn't one. Has anybody else had this problem, or can tell me what to do.

Thanks!!!

Look in the fuse box under the hood. Fuse #6 15 amp is for the park lamps. But, if you are using the factory trailer wiring, there is a fuse #5, 20 amp in the box under the hood. This feeds a trailer tow parking lamp relay, which is also located in this same underhood box. Then it goes to the rear plug.
