Manipulating the Z rot of C1 with the mouse's Vertical Pos Relative to the Camera, In a fixed cone?

Alright, So lets begin. I need a way to make the barrel of my cannon move up and down with the script, the cannon is attached to a Boat, and it's Pivot's rotation is independent of the boat. How would I go about doing this? I also would like to be able to incorperate firing cone of about 15? from the top. So rather than a 90? Firing cone it would only be 75?

What is the correct way to Collet the Mouses Y Axis location and parse it correctly to always be between 0-75? and facing the Front face towards the end of the barrel, I also need it to be able to return the angle? What would be the C-Framing magic needed for this? Calc(int) was a method I devised as an attempt before.

01--==LOCAL SCRIPT==--
02--Variables
03mouse=game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
04Rotor=Workspace.Model.Rotor
05ScreenY=game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.ViewportSize.Y
06minAngle=0
07maxAngle=75
08Gun=Workspace.Model.Gun
09 
10function Calc(Y)
11 
12    local Res=math.rad((ScreenY*Y/90))--Ratio'd using  Result/2Pi=90y/90 -- 90y= 90*y == ScreenY*Y 
13    --If Resulting angle >75
14    if Res>maxAngle then
15        return maxAngle
16    --If Result angle <0
17    elseif Res <minAngle then
18        return minAngle
19    --If Result is not defying the limits
20    else
21        return Res
22    end
23 
24end
25 
26while wait() do
27        --RelativeReferenceFrame
28        RotorPos = Rotor.Position
29        --UnitVector of Direction
30        dir = (mouse.Hit.p - RotorPos).unit
31        --Setting the Offset of RotorWeld to (0,1.5,0)*(0,inverseTangent of dir.X/-dirZ + pi,0):inverse()
32        --Basically rotating on the Y axis with the mouse.
33        Rotor.RotorWeld.C1 = CFrame.new(0,1.5,0) * CFrame.Angles(0, (math.atan2(dir.X, -dir.Z) + math.pi), 0):inverse()
34        --I still need a way to retrive the angle properly on the local reference frame.
35 
36        --offsetH=math.cos(angle)*Gun.Size.Z
37        --offsetV=math.sin(angle)*Gun.Size.Z
38        --Move the X Axis in this case which controls the up down movement of the barrel,
39        --Set the offsets correctly.
40        Gun.GunWeld.C1 = CFrame.new(0,0,0)*CFrame.Angles(0,0,0)--Im clueless e.e
