    What is range of rpms a trolling motor propeller is spinning if the motor is rated at 24 volts and 70 pounds of thrust?

    There is no way to answer that.
    Same thrust can be achieved with different RPMs. Usually the motor specs state the motor RPM.
    IIRC typical trolling motors are in the 1500rpm range.
