I bought a check valve from Grainger plumbing five years ago a d wouldn't look
back. Keep your bilge clean and you won't have a problem. Installed right
next to bilge pump so access easy.
Raise switch a little, put in che Ck valve. Done.

Despite the "conventional wisdom" against check valves in bilge discharges,
I've had one in Touche' for a decade and a half with no issues whatsoever. I
think the secret is the type of check valve one installs. Jabsco, Whale and
Bosworth make check valves for bilge discharges. I have this one:

The bilge in the 35-1 has so little volume that my 1500 gph centrifugal pump
just spurts and stops. If it were not for the check valve, I'd simply be
filling and draining the hose continuously.
Your other choice would be a diaphragm pump (which I think Joel said he already
has).

is not a good thing.
But honestly I don’t have a good solution for avoiding the water coming back.
