A method of operating a steering system for a marine vessel includes controlling a resistance device to apply a resistance force against rotation of the steering wheel in a first rotational direction past an end stop position, controlling a steering actuator associated with a marine drive based on a steering map and such that a drive angle of the marine drive stays within a permitted drive angle range, and determining that the current wheel position has passed the end stop position and then adjusting control of the steering actuator to account for the current wheel position being past the end stop position.
