need help with split edge tool 2013

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

i am following a tutorial on how to make a ship and its got to a point where i have to use the interactive split tool which is fine and i know how it works but when i put the line in that i want to create it will change to a totally different place that is there something wrong with my mesh ? and what could it be ? its probably something easy but i just dont have a clue how to solve it
thanks lee

Are there any unmerged verts covertly splitting the mesh up?
