Dennis, I like your suggestion of the Ultra Safety systems switch and the 
water puppy pump; that's about $300.00 (+/-); what would the advantages (or 
disadvantages) be over the traditional systems...?  
How would the hose be routed?  Would you still have the backflow problem?
 Thanks

Depends on the check valve.  I wouldn't trust any metal check valve due to the 
potential for corrosion.  Corrosion could a) lock the valve open and b) ruin 
the sealing surface so it doesn't seal.
I do like, and have on Touche', a Bosworth Sea-Lect check valve.  This is a 
plastic flapper style valve with a rubber flap.  It's worked for almost two 
decades without issue.
I also relocated the bilge discharge to the port side midships from the 
starboard quarter to decrease the hose run.
If I was to reconfigure the bilge pump entirely, I would consider a Ultra 
Safety Systems mini bilge pump switch and a "water puppy" style impeller pump 
in a storage under a seat.
