Watch the walkthourg of the mission (wich i guess you done) and if Phil still dies then i have some tips.

When you come to the boatyard part, get out of the car as quickly as possible so no enimies are near the car, then get rid of them all as fast as you can. If your playing the game with an controller, use autoaim and the left stick to aim at their heads (with an gun like the carbine rifle or the tier 2 SMG) be sure to take out the guys with shotguns and automatic weapons first. If you use the headshot tactic, you can kill them all in the matter of seconds.

As for the boat part, you should not focus on the enimies to much. Drive away as fast as you can and if your going for the other boats, shot the driver and not the other guys in the boat shooting. Nobody will take over driving if the the drivers dead so they will just be stuck.

Hope it helps!
