<"impossible to turn toward the live engine with only 1 going">
You've probably tried it already, but if not raise the wing of the dead engine by up to 5 degrees. This should reduce the required rudder angle, somewhat, and minimise resulting trim drag. Worth 50 ft/min on a PBY-5A, as I hazily recall.
