Thanks everyone for the great tips and advise. I used two different 
thermometers (candy and meat) to check the water temp and discovered that 
the gauge is actually dead on. After pouring the boiling water into the 
insulated cup and immediately inserting the thermometers the temp on both 
hit 200F exactly, which is the same reading I got off the gauge in all 
three tests. So I can rule out a malfunctioning gauge! Now back to the 
drawing board...
