A steering actuator is for steering an outboard marine engine about a steering axis. The steering actuator comprises a housing; a piston device that is disposed in the housing, wherein hydraulic actuation of the piston device causes the outboard marine engine to pivot about the steering axis; and a valve device that is disposed in the housing. The valve device controls a flow of a hydraulic fluid to move the piston device in a first piston direction and to move the piston device in an opposite, second piston direction. Movement of the piston device in the first piston direction causes the outboard marine engine to pivot in a first pivot direction and movement of the piston device in the second piston direction causes the outboard marine engine to pivot in an opposite, second pivot direction.
