Your gage calibration sounds about right.
Since the SMD has a 15 psi pressurized cooling system, the coolant is not considered "hot" until it reaches boiling temperature at operating pressure - about 225 deg or so with straight water, or about 240 with 50:50 antifreeze.
So for your gage a reading near at the right side of the "U" is about what I would expect with the bulb immersed in boiling water. (Your 962 ft altitude pressure is not enough to make a significant difference....)
Unfortunately the gage is recalibrated/sealed at the factory - it cannot be field adjusted.
