Well when they first started dropping the new 496's into 33's nobody at Baja thought to add a second drian plug on the transom in 2001. The first model to get (2) drain plugs was the 30 Outlaw in 2002, and I guess that I can take the credit on that idea? Your 33ol is setup like my old 29ol with a center stringer with a notch in the lower back corner where the drain plug is located. I was able to fish my 7.4 MPI oil hoses down through there one time, but it was such a hassle I never did it again.

To be honest I removed the hose option after a poker run because the fitting was so close the the hull bottom, the bottom flexing broke one of the fittings, and I lost all the oil in one motor to the bilge. Sucking it up the dipstick tube will leave a little less that 1/2 quart in the pan, but it is worth the hassle and clean-up.
