A steering cylinder for an outboard engine of a marine vessel. The steering cylinder includes a first cylinder including a first fluid port and a second fluid port. The first cylinder defines a first space. The steering cylinder includes a second cylinder defining a first end and a second end. The second cylinder defines a second space housing a hollow piston. The second cylinder is configured to move with respect to the first cylinder. The steering cylinder includes a hollow piston rod positioned at least partially within the first space and defining a first end and a second end, the first end being fluidly coupled with the first fluid port and the second end being coupled to the hollow piston. The steering cylinder is configured to actuate between an extended position and a retracted position to steer the marine vessel.

A steering system for a vehicle includes a hydraulic steering system configured to, in response to a steering input provided at a steering mechanism of the vehicle, control a pump to control a steering device to steer the vehicle, a sensor configured to sense an angle or position associated with the steering input provided at the steering mechanism, an electric power steering system configured to receive a signal from the sensor and provide powered steering assistance to the hydraulic steering system based on the signal and a pump-slip offset associated with the pump, and a controller configured to determine the pump-slip offset. The pump-slip offset corresponds to a difference between the angle or position associated with the steering input and an actual position of the steering device achieved by the pump.
