You should have a vented loop / vacuum break in the sea water intake hose that will prevent siphoning. See the link below.

She is an electric system. Will check for the vented loop on the system

Did this problem just start happening to what used to be a properly working head or is this a new installation?

Not so simple as having a anti-siphon loop. It must be installed at the proper height IF the head is below waterline. I will ass/u/me it is below WL because of the problem described. There also needs to be a solenoid on the vent that closes when the pump runs or else the seawater side of the pump will only suck air when running.
