Running the electric fuel pumps dry will cause fuel pump damage.
NOTICE! Do not run engine out of fuel or run the electric fuel pumps dry more than 20 seconds. WARNING! Any fuel leakage should be corrected immediately to prevent possible fire and/or explosion. The maximum period that fuel can be stabilized is six months due to limitations of the stabilizers and fuels. The amount of stabilizer required is determined by the quantity of fuel and the length of time it will be placed in storage. If the boat is being placed into storage, a gasoline fuel stabilizer must be added to the tank(s) as per the manufacturers instructions. This will help prevent the fuel from breaking down and causing reduced engine performance fuel system clogging or damage from uncontrolled combustion. If the vessels fuel within the tank(s) will not be consumed within a 30-day period from the time of filling, a gasoline fuel stabilizer must be added as per the manufacturer’s instructions. Fuel stabilizer can be purchased locally at most marine supply stores.
Boat manufacturers should follow the gasoline storage mixture sectionfor testing prior to shipment. Failure to properly stabilize the fuel can damage fuel system components and is not considered as warrantable a defect that would be covered and repaired under the limited express warranty. Today’s gasoline blends are not as stable as in the past and consideration must be given if the fuel will not be used within a short time or if the engine is being placed in storage. When gasoline engines are removed from service for long periods (2 months or more), it is important that they are correctly stored or protected (internally). There are nine steps that must be completed for Off-Season Storage Preparation.

The Cobalt manual isn't very helpful in this regard, but for volvo at least, they recommend both.
