I dislike having to keep going back to the ship to click the next ocean tile. Is there any way to set it to auto explore and forget about it?
In EU4, is there any way to set the ship to auto explore with an explorer

If I'm not wrong, you can get more available advisors through idea paths.
For example, the economic path opens one advisor slot :
So does the administrative one.
With the centralization bonus (from the economic path), I can choose from 4 different advisors :
And this for each type of advisor.
That should help you to get better advisors.
Perhaps it is easier for you to provoke war against Castille or whoever controls southern Iberia. You can fabricate claims to any neighbouring province, including those who are separated by a single sea province.
For example, if you control Cadiz or Granada, you should be able to fabricate a claim in Morocco, or possibly trigger a holy war casus belli.
Another option is to abandon the Morocco plans, and instead target the Azores. That way, you might be able to colonize Africa (depending on your colonial range) or make the jump to South America directly.

There is no auto explore button as there is with protecting trade etc.
However you can define multiple destinations by holding down the
shift keywhilst plotting your course. This allows you to select multiple ocean tiles. Therefore you can customise the course you wish a ship to take over the coming weeks/months by selecting lots of different destinations in one go.The same applies with land units.
For Naval units there is also the Patrol option. Which once selected will cause the ships to repeat their orders in a loop. This can include docking at a friendly port for repairs.
A combination of using the
Shift Keyto stack orders and plot your desired course and then using the Patrol option to repeat those orders can be very handy and make Naval operations such as exploring a doddle rather than a chore.I use this a lot when exploring, by making a ship sail up and down the same stretch of coast line over and over again. Then leaving him to it. You've just got to mindful of the ships attrition and make sure it visits port for repairs regularly enough.
Update - Limited to El Dorado DLC only
As @Max stated, you can now order fleets with explorers to automatically explore uncharted territories and coasts without taking attrition.
