You can rerun the hose to acheive this, but it depends of your layout. Rule now make a pump with an intergrated switch and check valve. It seems they were against the check valve because of the possibility to get an air lock. It is certanly an added restricion, but a line blockage risk, i doubt it. I clean it every year, keep my bilge clean and the pump works often to pump water coming from the mast. i prefer the check valve to a cycling pump and more water in my bilge. It's a choice of compromise.

From its high point it could be self-draining outward to the discharge connection. By doing this it minimizes the amount of bilge water that will flow back into the bilge when the pump shuts off. I would not use a check valve in the bilge discharge line because it is the last place you want a line blockage.

It’s almost 20 feet from the pump and switch to the transom.

I know some people here have a system including the mandatory manual pump, the "main", often turbine type electric pump and a low GPH suction pump to empty the bilge. I'm not quite there yet, and would just like to get the best "main" electric pump that could fit. Is there a better option than the Rule 1500 out there that would have about the same footprint ? Whale has a new line but the pump is a bit bigger. Could a equivalent capacity diaphragm pump be a choice ? What about auto pump with integrated switch, are they reliable ? My setup includes a Rule float swith that will be replaced with a "water witch" switch once broken and i use a check valve. (i know some are against this, aka Rule themself). Thanks.
