Default SGC coupler to Dipole feedling question

The above setup is a given, with no room for compromise.


Your antenna is already quite compromised with a
~490:1 SWR on 75m at the antenna feedpoint. The line
loss with RG-213 is about 4.5 dB and the tuner is
required to match 0.55-j48 ohms, another lossy
situation. Your antenna system efficiency may be ~10%.

How about turning your 13 foot pole into a radiator
and using the dipole wires for a top hat?
