A method of operating a steer-by-wire steering system on a marine vessel includes receiving an initial component position of a steerable component and receiving an initial wheel position of a manually rotatable steering wheel with respect to a zero position. An initial normalized steering value is then calculated based on the initial component position, and the initial normalized steering value is correlated to the initial wheel position. The correlation between a subsequently received wheel position and a subsequently calculated normalized steering value is then adjusted by a recovery gain until the steering wheel reaches an aligned position with the steerable component.
