Here is a valve that should work. It uses a type of duckbill flapper that requires just the weight of the water to function as a check valve. It is Whale Water Systems, part # LV1215B, Non-Returning Valve for 1" or 1-1/2" lines. The barb has 2 steps on it so the same part # fits both sizes. Smaller sized are available for bilge pumps and smaller deck drains. The recommendation is to cut the deck drain line and insert the non-returning valve near the deck drain fitting.
One source for the valve is Boatfix.com and their cost is $15.42 ea.
