Stay away from shallow water!
Seriously the best thing you can do is stry to stay as quiet as possible and use alternating 10 degrees rudder along a line of escape to the nearest deep water.
More than likely though if they find you, they will probably kill you in such shallow water.
If there is only one of them you could go on the attack and try to sink him before he sinks you.
A lot will depend on what level of enemy crew ability you cop. If you are late war and they are elite, you don;t stand much chance. If early war and they are dumb you should be able to sneak away.
I note you said it was a patrol boat. They don't normally carry DC's but are good at calling in support that does. Was it really an Elco or other patrol boat or a corvette, trawler or destroyer? This makes a bit of difference as to the tactics that are available to you.

Good Luck!
