A steering system for a marine craft includes a steering input shaft. The steering system also includes an electric power steering (EPS) system operatively coupled to the steering input shaft, the EPS system having an electric motor that drives rotation of a system output shaft. The steering system further includes a hydraulic pump operatively coupled to the system output shaft with a gear set, the hydraulic pump having a longitudinal direction that is perpendicular to a steering input shaft axis. The steering system yet further includes a fluid reservoir located remotely relative to the hydraulic pump.
