Temp Gauge went to max but engine felt normal

Hello all,
I've bee working out of the US for 5 years and finally back for good. When I would return on my R&R's I would start the Cat and it always worked fine. Yesterday I took her out for the first time in 4 months and all was fine, ran great but at one point the gauge pegged at 240 deg. (original gauge). I know the engine was not hot because the second fan had not come on. I can turn it on manually if I want so I did and it did not change the gauge. I stopped and nothing seemed to be too hot. I'm guessing that the sending unit is to blame and not the gauge. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance
